RadarScope TV enables meteorologists to view and simulcast to air, native Level 3 and Level 2 super-res NEXRAD radar data as well as severe weather warnings. In addition, this professional app features real-time drawing capabilities and intuitive gesturing along with social integration. The system works remotely, offering on-air talent the ability to mobilize within a studio setting while always having the display on-hand. RadarScope TV runs on iPad 2 and newer models and utilizes AppleTV’s AirPlay for remote features.

Whether you are scanning reflectivity for a mesocyclone’s tell-tale hook echo, trying to pinpoint the landfall of a hurricane’s eye wall, or looking for small features like velocity couplets in the storm relative radial velocity product, RadarScope TV gives you the power to view true radial NEXRAD weather radar and simultaneously broadcast these images and animations to your viewing audience.

When there are Tornado Warnings (outlined in RED), Severe Thunderstorm Warnings (YELLOW polygons), or Flash Flood Warnings (GREEN polygons) in effect throughout the US, tap the warning button in the top right corner to browse the list of current warnings, view the details, and even zoom to the selected warning on the map.

Pinch or stretch to zoom in and out. Drag your finger around the map to scroll. Tap the radar sweep button in the toolbar to switch radars. Select one of the 155 different radar sites, with the rotating radar beam representing each radar’s approximate coverage area. Tap the play button to download and animate over the last six images. Display the names of over 25,000 cities and towns on the map as you zoom and scroll. Tap and hold the color legend to see the data values. Meanwhile, RadarScope TV will retrieve and display updated data automatically and intelligently (approximately every 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the radar scan strategy).

You can display data from NOAA’s public access web site, our optional commercial feed provided by iMapWeather (the default), or an Allison House subscriber account.
