A Ruby-Processing program to view NEXRAD Level 3 radar data.
Right now it’s only at a ‘working preview’ stage and only supports viewing of reflectivity data from the WSR88Ds.
Get the Ruby-Processing gem if you don’t already have it:
gem install ruby-processing
Then use Ruby-Processing’s
rp5 command: rp5 run weath.rb
You will need the data folder that contains the font file in the same folder as the script.

- Ability to export the image as a KML (Google Earth) overlay
- A map background
- Better zooming and panning
- Better image smoothing

- 3D viewing of multiple tilts
