Abstract:
We propose a new algorithm for the detection of weather fronts from discrete weather data generated by weather forecasting software. Given data for a snapshop in time, the algorithm detects cold and warm fronts and draws them on a weather map. Given multiple time frames, the algorithm creates a smooth animation of the weather fronts as they travel. Detection of occluded fronts (formed when a fast-moving cold front overtakes a warm front) is also treated.
