Metview is a meteorological workstation application designed to be a complete working environment for both the operational and research meteorologist. Its capabilities include powerful data access, processing and visualisation.

It features a powerful icon-based user interface for interactive work, a bespoke scripting language (Macro) and a Python interface for batch processing with integrated support for plots within Jupyter notebooks. These are linked through the ability to automatically convert icons into their equivalent script (Macro/Python) code.

   

Metview can take input data from a variety of sources, including:

Powerful data filtering and processing facilities are then available, and if graphics output is desired, then Metview can produce many plot types, including:

Metview can also interface with external models and applications, such as VAPORMet3DFLEXTRA and FLEXPART.

Metview was developed as part of a cooperation between ECMWF and INPE (Brazilian National Institute for Space Research).
