Weather4D is the first application to use the power of GPU for iPad and iPhone to animate the weather like a video. 2D or 3D display is complemented by the continuous scrolling of time which allows to perfectly visualize the evolution of weather phenomena to come. The automatic scrolling can be accelerated or slowed manually by forward or backward in time by simply sliding a finger or by time increments through taps on icons "next / previous".
Global data are based on the 8 day forecast from the U.S. model GFS distributed as GRIB files, and can be complemented by fine mesh forecasts to 96 hours in 1 hour to several areas including western Europe (subscription to WRF). These forecasts are updated four times a day.
