This scenario demonstrates how to import turbulence data from NOAA and apply it to aircraft paths to visualize turbulence an aircraft will encounter. The turbulence can be seen through color or data displays on the aircraft showing both the turbulence index and a human readable indicator showing none/light/moderate/severe turbulence. The important thing to note is the weather file includes turbulence at altitude and the Weather Sentinel interprets the altitude of the weather and vehicle to give you interpolated data in 4 dimensions.

This scenario contains cloud tops and bottoms over America. Clouds are visualized at actual cloud heights. Access is done between an aircraft and a geostationary satellite, and an area target and a geostationary satellite. The cloud constraint is turned on for the satellite, causing line-of-sight calculations to include clouds blocking the view. The coverage area (Virginia) includes a similar cloud coverage calculation. The cloud height is visually shown in time steps, but the line-of-sight access is interpolated in 4 dimensions.

This example is C# code demonstrating how to use the WeatherX module. WeatherX is a .NET and COM compatible component that can be used to harness the power of the Weather Sentinel Engine in specialized applications. This example has code that shows how to use WeatherX in conjunction with STK/X, 4DX, or STK as an application. The tool contains a 4DX window and opens a blank scenario. The weather data used includes winds over Canada. The data is applied to a 3D globe and can be queried at a specific time, lat, lon, and alt.

This scenario contains wind and temperature data for the region around Japan. Wind vectors are visualized on the 3D globe while a data display on Tokyo shows temperature, wind magnitude, and wind direction. The ship's paths are color coded by the temperatures they will encouter, while the aircrafts are color coded by wind magnitudes they will encounter.

This scenario contains wind, temperature, and percipitation on the west coast and the Pacific ocean. These weather elements are visualized on the 3D globe, along with being applied to each of the following objects: a plane, truck, and ship. The aircraft's path is color coded for wind speeds it encouters; the truck's path is color coded by the temperature it encounters; and the ship's path is color coded by the percipitation or rain it will encounter. For analysis purposes, a wind vector report has been generated for the aircraft.
