Meeresvogel

Project Meeresvogel seeks to make it easier to incorporate weather visualisations into multimedia presentations. We will design and develop a Python module which enables users to create interactive Google Earth presentations which are enhanced with weather data and visualisations from MetView. 

Using this module, we aim to create three examples to demonstrate how this could be useful to diverse audiences wanting to explore various aspects of the 2020/21 Vendée Globe Race, a sporting event in which 33 skippers set out to race their 60 foot yachts solo non-stop around the world. 

We will explore ways in which weather visualisations can provide insights for the public following the race, the race teams wanting to analyse performance data, and scientists analysing the oceanmet observations which were collected by a number of the boats during the race.
