Abstract:

Due to dangerous situation under thunderstorm weather conditions, it is difficult to take photos immediately when it is happening. Based on the microphysics characteristics of precipitation particles, a three-dimensional video technique has been applied to simulate the occurrence and evolution of thunderstorms and its derivative disasters such as urban flooding, landslides and mudslides by softwares of Maya, Reanflow, AfterEffects and Premier. Besides, related technical processes and criteria have been initially established to guide the future application in producing meteorological television programs.

Key words: Severe thunderstorm, Derivative disasters, 3D video simulation, Meteorological television programs
