We’ve been busily working on the radar visualization web support for our display toolkit, Terrier. Yes, everything is named after a dog breed.
The Journey to Web-Based Radar Visualization
Terrier started on mobile and displayed wind, temperature, radar, and other data sets on iOS and Android. But we made a big bet on the web version last year and have been working on it since.
Overcoming Challenges in Web Radar Display
A radar mosaic is a bit more work than temperature and wind. There’s just more of it. The example here is the MRMS mosaic from NOAA which is updated every 2 minutes. We’re displaying fewer slices over a longer period, but it adds up to a lot of data.
There’s more to do here, but it’s working remarkably well on the web so far.
