Layers

The weather layer overview enables you to integrate weather information from various sources into the weather map or chart. You can add diverse layers, such as:

Each layer comes with its own range of customization options. Once a weather layer is included, you can easily rearrange the layer order through a simple drag-and-drop process, allowing you to position layers as needed.

Animations

Weather animations illustrate the progression of weather conditions during a defined time frame.

In MetX, these animations are dynamically computed in real-time, displaying the most up-to-date weather information.

You can fine-tune the animation's duration to your preferences, adjusting parameters such as the start and end times, time zone, interval, and frames per second.

Import/Export

MetX offers the option to import or export saved weather profiles, images and videos.

You can export weather data based on your customized settings, combining individual layers with a single click, or choose to export created diagrams.

Additionally, animated weather maps can be saved as videos in your preferred format.

Aviation Met X

MetX allows you to display multiple weather maps in a single tab. You can choose how many maps to combine, with support for up to six fields that can hold maps or diagrams. Each field can have its own weather data, offering flexible combinations and display options for different weather layers.

Wind Visualization

The global wind feature offers worldwide coverage and enables users to create precise wind maps.

Its intuitive animations serve as an effective communication tool for different kinds of stakeholders, such as customers, investors and employees.

Example of a Weather Situation Evaluation

Weather forecast using MetX for Europe, North America, Africa and Australia on March 4, 2022, at 06:00 UTC.

metx-weather-forecast-maps
  • Europe: A high-pressure system is situated over southern Norway, resulting in calm weather conditions. However, the first low-pressure systems are affecting the British Isles and the Iberian Peninsula, bringing unsettled weather.
  • North America: The northeastern US states are experiencing cold temperatures due to the influence of an approaching high-pressure system. Meanwhile, a low-pressure area near California is causing snowfall in lower elevations.
  • Africa: A tropical depression located over the West Indies is causing rainfall in northern Madagascar and along the southeastern African coastline. Additionally, the foothills of a low-pressure system over Spain are bringing rainfall to northern Morocco and Algeria.
  • Australia: The states of Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland are currently experiencing widespread hot temperatures. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure is responsible for bringing rainfall to areas like Adelaide and South East Queensland.

Airbus Uses MetX To Ensure Zephyr Flies Safely to the Stratosphere
