MeteoInfo Features
MeteoInfo is a freely available software
designed to view and analyze meteorological and spatial data interactively. Some
GIS functions were developed from ground level. It was developed with C# in the
Microsoft .Net environment. MeteoInfo may be run
in Windows with .NetFramework 3.5, or in UNIX like systems with Mono, an open
source implementation of the .NET Framework. MeteoInfo
can also be run automatically using MeteoInfo
scripting with the IronPython language. The main functions are packed in the
MeteoInfo class library, which could be used to
conveniently develop the software.
