The UltraGraphix ULTRA can be used as either a forecast tool or as a presentation system for weather briefings and/or television weather presentations. With these tools, the user can view multiple predictions of weather system movement, thereby seeing the forecast flow of pressure, moisture and other parameters based upon each individual model or upon different model combinations.

The system's unique ModelBlender (tm) feature enables the user to specify how to weigh and combine multiple numerical models for each individual parameter, yielding animations that show a 'consensus' of the models. It will create animations of temperature, pressure, dew point, wind arrows, or derived fields such as cloudiness and precipitation, directly from any of the models. It then utilizes this data to automatically create desired forecast animations, in a matter of seconds. The UltraGraphix ULTRA (R) directly ingests numerical model data from the AVN/MRF, NGM, Eta, RUC and other models, as well as MOS data, all received via satellite or over the Internet.

The UltraGraphix ULTRA Weather Workstation (tm) is a low-cost forecasting and analysis tool, that can also be used to automatically animate numerical model data.
