What is Weather Lab?
Weather Lab is a 3D radar app designed for meteorologists, storm chasers, atmospheric scientists, pilots, or weather enthusiasts who want to get the most out of weather radar data. The app provides the most up-to-date data directly from NOAA to provide the most accurate information possible. There are two levels of Weather Lab: Weather Lab and Weather Lab PRO, which can be accessed through an in-app subscription.
1. The first 3D radar on iPhone® and iPad®, Weather Lab is for meteorologists, storm chasers, atmospheric scientists, pilots or weather enthusiasts that want more than just a friendly forecasting app and are looking to get the most out of weather radar data.
2. Vertical Slice (Weather Lab PRO) - Cut through the radar volume vertically, creating a "wall" of data to allow instant interpretation of what is happening through all altitudes at once.
3. Horizontal Slice (Weather Lab PRO) - Since any given scan ascends through the altitudes at an angle, a mental leap is required to understand what is happening at a single altitude.
4. Volume - View the radar as four combined 3D isosurfaces, giving you the at-a-glance ability to understand the big picture.
5. Weather Lab provides you access to all scans in the volume, giving you the full spatial picture from which to visualize the structure of a storm.
6. Weather Lab: Gives you the richness, power, and fluid control you demand to help you gain an advanced model of weather events across the country.
7. NEXRAD radars continuously scan a 3D picture of the skies using one of several predetermined volume coverage patterns (VCP).
8. Scan - Display radar in the form in which it was captured: A full circle scan pointing into the sky at a constant elevation angle.
9. The ability to view radar in 3D helps create a better mental model and improves situational awareness.
10. Weather Lab PRO subscription payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.
11. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user’s Account Settings after purchase.
