62 AWeather is a free/open source application which has been
63 designed to integrate and visualize high-quality meteorological
64 data using an interactive Virtual Globe interface suitable for
65 a wide range of users including weather enthusiasts, academics,
68 It is designed to provide more information than is typically
69 available from weather widgets and simple desktop applications.
70 At the same time, it strives to be simpler and easier to use
71 than existing meteorological software packages such as GEMPAK

273 <li>Uses the <a href="grits">Grits</a> "Virtual Globe" library<ul>
274 <li>Handles most of the graphics work using OpenGL for rendering</li>
275 <li>Provides some other generic functionality, such as data access</li>
276 <li>Also provides the plugins API used by AWeather</li>
278 <li>AWeather itself is a front-end for grits along with a
279 bundle of weather related plugins</li>
282 <h2>Building AWeather</h2>
283 <p class="note">See the <a href="code/projects/aweather/wiki/Install">install</a> wiki page for more details</p>
285 <li>AWeather has direct dependencies on Grits, RSL, among other things</li>
286 <li>Currently building and running AWeather will require the
287 exact same version of Grits to be installed<br />
288 (This may change in the near future as the software stabilizes)</li>
292 <% void print_grits(void) { %>
293 <p>Grits is a Virtual Globe library developed along side AWeather, but
294 can be used by other programs as well.</p>
295 <p>It is differentiated from other Virtual Globes such as Google Earth,
296 NASA World Wind, and KDE Marble in that it is developed as a library
297 that is used by other programs, such as AWeather, rather than
298 providing a user interface that is used directly.</p>

321 for accessing Level-II radar files.
