ABSTRACT:
A system for providing remote locations with processed data relating to weather conditions or the like. A transmitter adapted to receive complex, real-time radar data, including azimuth, range and elevation from the National Weather Bureau (NWB) radar network is used to process the data into a four-range radar image and to append geographic overlay information for transmission over voice grade phone lines to remote receivers. In the receivers, the data from the phone lines is converted by a demodulator into digital data and stored into predetermined memory locations corresponding to the four-range categories from which the radar data had originally been acquired. Once stored, any one of the ranges can be individually and instantaneously selected for display in a six-color format representing six predetermined precipitation intensity levels established by the NWB.
