WSV3 is the visualization program that pairs with AceCAST. To learn more click here

A quick overview of the capabilities of WSV3

Noteworthy features include but are not limited to:

  1. Quality private-server-backed National Radar mosaic - 3 options, based on MRMS

  2. NEXRAD Level 2 radar data including proprietary LiveScan and LiveComposite technologies

    • Derived Level 2 radial products (Velocity Dealiasing, SRV, MEHS, ET, Max Downdraft Gust, etc.)

    • Support for multiple public internet data sources for redundancy in high-demand events

  3. NEXRAD Level 3 radar data including visual depicts of non-radial point products (storm tracks, hail icons, MESO/TVS, etc.)

  4. Extensive suite of high-temporal-resolution GOES-16 satellite imagery

    • Two RGB multispectral visualizations included (True Color RGB + IR/VIS Sandwich)

    • 5 bands of CMIP imagery for GOES-16 CONUS

    • Add-on subscription adds access to full 16-band output of G16/17 Full Disk, CONUS, and MESO rapid-scan 1-minute imagery with multiple RGB multispectral products

  5. Severe Weather tracking abilities

    • Point/path extrapolation from NWS warning objects and manual tracks

    • Tracking information from Level 3 radar derived storm cells

    • Rollover ETA storm arrival information and city time-to-impact list

  6. NWS Severe Watche outlines and Severe Warning polygons

  7. MRMS data

  8. Mesoanalysis fields

  9. SPC convective outlooks

  10. LSR (Local Storm Report) icons

  11. METAR + NDBC surface observations

  12. WPC Surface Analysis

  13. GOES-R GLM lightning data with add-on subscription

  14. Extensive foreecast model data system

    • Defaults include all major NCEP models (GFS, NAM, HRRR, RAP, HIRESW)

    • 48-Hour HRRR

    • Customizable to add any GRIB2-format internet model data; pulls from NCEP-format HTTP servers

  15. Tropical data layers

  16. Winter weather data including WPC snow/ice accumulation probabilities

  17. Highly customizable GIS/Vector rendering engine and background/terrain rendering engine for unique, brandable map appearance

  18. Import custom Placefile data/ESRI shapefiles

  19. Spatial tools for distance measurement to aid forecasting and motion extrapolation
