Abstract: To demonstrate to students an intuitive display of meteorological knowledge, this study develops a system that allows the user to manipulate a virtual terrain and observe the simulation results of meteorological phenomena on that terrain. The meteorological phenomena to be simulated include sea and land winds, mountain and valley winds, and the heat island phenomenon. The process of generating the terrain and simulation results is fully automated and the results are presented to the user by AR technology. Additionally, features such as an introduction panel are implemented to facilitate the understanding of the knowledge. The project is tested through user experience and feedback.
