FAQ
PPI to JPEG 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 JPEG files?
JPG or JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression. JPEG compression is used in a number of image file formats. JPEG/Exif is the most common image format used by digital cameras and other photographic image capture devices; it is the most common format for storing and transmitting photographic images on the internet.
