Profiler Display

The Profiler Display enables meteorological forecasters to visualise real-time wind speed and temperature data from VHF wind profiling radars, and use it to enhance their forecasts. It replaces a legacy application used nationally by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. We assessed the existing application, reviewed user requirements and designed a cross platform replacement, which we then implemented in Java. The Profiler Display project illustrates our skills in Requirements Analysis and Software Design, and our expertise in Java Programming in areas such as Graphical User Interfaces for Real-time Data Display, Threads and Remote Method Invocation.

The standard Profiler Display window allows the forecaster to examine changing profiles over time. In this chart horizontal wind speed profiles have been overlaid on SNR (signal to noise ratio) data to produce a composite plot.

The Hodograph Display window shows a single windspeed profile. It is typically used by forecasters for severe weather prediction
