Severe Weather Warning System

Developed for a Government Weather Monitoring Agency, this knowledge based system analyses radar data and recognizes incoming severe weather patterns such as thunderstorms, tornados, and hurricanes.

The system can run with no human interaction and alerts meteorologists when potentially severe weather is on its way. The meteorologist can then interact with the system to view pertinent storm information or extract more data in order to further analyze the storm.

The system consists of the following components developed by IMT:

An analysis engine service, that consists of a multi-process server capable of simultaneously delivering data to many users. The engine is capable of processing both live and archived radar data, and can simultaneously respond to requests from users or perform actions according to a built in schedule.

A GUI interface that connects to the analysis engine service, that generates visual storm maps for the user that are automatically updated once the analysis engine service broadcasts new information. A meteorologist can also use the interface to request additional information from the analysis service.
