MeteoEarth –
3D global weather view
MeteoEarth 3D is a great app for viewing and
tracking weather systems around the globe. It has versions for use in use in
browsers, but the iPad app I use most frequently. The app is cool and self-explaining.
By paying 10 € for the premium version (12 months) you get wind data from sea
level up to 9000 meters.it shows wind direction and velocity, precipitation,
temperature and air pressure. in addition, major storm systems like hurricanes
and typhoons are shown together with their track. It is great for educational
purposes, it makes it easy to explain the jet stream, cyclones and
anti-cyclones, global climate and weather systems etc.
Of course,
some features could be added to improve insight, for example the equator, which
would make the seasonal variation of the ITCZ more easy to follow. Otherwise a
great app, even the free version.
See MeteoEarth.com for more information.
