FAQ
PPI to JP2 Conversion
What are PPI files?
PPI is a product file of IRIS (Interactive Radar Information System), the weather radar software of Vaisala, which is used by weather services in many countries. PPI stands for Plan Position Indicator, the classic radar picture in which the antenna sweeps around the compass at a fixed elevation angle and the echoes are shown on a map centered on the radar. A file of this type holds such a picture for a quantity such as reflectivity, which shows the intensity of precipitation, radial velocity, which shows how fast the air moves toward or away from the radar, or the width of the velocity spectrum. These images are the basis of weather surveillance, storm tracking, and short-range forecasting, and the same family of files also includes products like rainfall accumulation and echo tops.
What are JP2 files?
JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
