BREEZE MetView - Meteorological Data Analysis and Visualization Tool
From BREEZE Software - Programs for Data Analysis
BREEZE MetView is a powerful data analysis tool, capable of displaying a wide range of meteorological data formats. BREEZE MetView allows users to create fully customizable data tables and graphics to evaluate meteorological conditions at specific time intervals. Each display mode allows the user to extrapolate important correlations between several meteorological variables, or even view pollution concentrations against specific meteorological conditions.

Data Rose - Product Tour
Data Rose
BREEZE MetView contains data rose functionality. Similar to a wind rose, a data rose allows users to plot any variable against wind direction. BREEZE MetView also gives users the unique ability to append data to their meteorological data file. With this ability, users can turn the data rose into a true pollution rose.
Identify Trends and Correlations
This functionality was developed to merge measured ambient air data with meteorological data to identify geospatial trends, patterns, and correlations that can be used to explain relationships between meteorological data and measure ambient chemical concentrations. Specifically, pollution rose diagrams are designed to visually illustrate the distribution of wind direction temporally correlated with ambient air monitoring data.
Identify Met Conditions
Identify Met Conditions
Pollution rose diagrams are often used to correlate wind direction with observed or measured ambient air data to identify the met conditions (e.g., wind speed, wind direction) that occur during a specific measurement event, such as the maximum annual benzene concentration. Meteorological conditions can also be viewed for a user-defined range of pollution (e.g., >50 ug/m^3). The information can be used to identify or exclude possible emission sources responsible for the measured monitor value. Overlaying pollution rose diagrams with emission and monitor locations using a GIS system often reveals a wealth of additional information not obvious when looking at the data sets individually.
Wind Roses and Plotting - Product Tour
BREEZE MetView allows you to view wind roses for a wide range of raw and model-ready meteorological data formats. Customize everything about the wind rose plot from the date range to wind speed categories.
Customization Options
Users can customize everything about the wind rose plot from the date range (which comes preloaded with seasonal and monthly options), how many sectors to display, what wind speed categories to use, as well as the size and placement of accompanying legends. Even the color scheme can be changed with the click of a mouse.
Custom Data Rose Plots
Custom Data Rose Plots
MetView is not limited to wind roses -- users can now create custom data rose plots to display any variable within a meteorological data file against wind direction.
Time Series Plot
MetView also contains a powerful time series plot for data. Users can select which meteorological variables and date range they want to view to create detailed graphs of meteorological data over time. The picture to the right shows a custom data plot created from AERMOD-ready meteorological data.
Tabular Data Analysis - Product Tour
Tabular Data Analysis
Most meteorological data formats are difficult to decipher. BREEZE MetView removes the guesswork with data tables for every plot, including convenient titles and units for each variable.
Data Table Display
BREEZE MetView produces data tables for every data plot. The Data Table display shows your meteorological data file in an easy-to-read table with header information to easily analyze all meteorological variables. All tables can be exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis.
Tabular Features
Tabular Features
MetView offers several tabular features to help you decipher your meteorological data files:
- Identify missing hours automatically with the Data Table display
- Create custom tables with the MetView control panel to turn variables on and off
- Make modifications to the data within the Data Table view. When data is saved, MetView will ensure it's in the proper text format for the meteorological data format you are using.
Wind Rose and Data Rose Tables
The tables in BREEZE MetView are linked to the wind rose and data rose plots. The options you choose for the plots will be linked to the associated tables so the raw data used to create the plot can be easily verified.
Append Data - Product Tour
Append Data
With the Append function, users can compare multiple files from the same period. It's easier than ever to compare variables from two datasets. Click to enlarge the image to the right which shows variables from two AERMOD-ready meteorological datasets being compared side-by-side.
