Abstract
A meteorological simulation method acquires the geomorphological data of a predetermined region, acquires the meteorological data of the predetermined region entirely or partially, acquires the 3D spatial data of a partial region in the predetermined region where the 3D space is defined by grids, calculates the meteorological data in the predetermined region by using the geomorphological data and the meteorological data, acquires the attribute data of each grid including the geometrical factors of the grids, calculates heat radiation energy of every grid based on the attribute data of each grid, calculates the flux between a solid object or the like and the ground surface and the pressure variation on the boundary of the solid object and the atmosphere based on the heat radiation energy thus calculated, calculates the weather data on the boundary of the solid object or the like and the atmosphere based on the flux and pressure variation, and calculates the meteorological data in the predetermined region furthermore after a predetermined time by outputting the calculated meteorological data to an output unit and using the meteorological data on the boundary of the solid object or th…
