Overview

NinJo Map Application with up to Four different Maps
NinJo Map Application using a main map and up to three maps on the right hand side. Each map displaying different kinds of meteorological data.

NinJo is an all-encompassing tool for anybody whose work involves the processing of meteorological information, from raw data right through to forecasting.

For the user, the main window is just the framework around the various areas of work. Of course it is possible to divide up the displayed image over several screens. All products that you generate interactively on the screen, you can equally have generated in batch mode as well. Besides 2D displays of data distributed over an extensive area, you can also produce diagrams (e.g. tephigrams for radio soundings), various meteograms or cross-sections.
Depending on the task to be accomplished, you work with one or a number of data layer(s). There are layers for processing observational data such as measured values from stations, radar images etc. right through to finished products such as weather maps, storm warnings etc. Data sources are generally constantly updated files in the relevant formats.
