1. A computer system for predicting weather-related threats, comprising:

  • a computer system having a memory and one or more processors; and

    one or more processor executable programs stored in the memory and executed by the one or more processors, where the one or more processor executable programs include;

    instructions for combining at a computer larger scale numerical weather forecast data with high spatial and high temporal resolution data from a local Doppler radar system thereby initializing and creating boundary conditions for a forecast model having higher spatial and temporal correlation factors between observed and predicted weather conditions;

    instructions for deriving three dimensional meteorological fields using current observed and predicted meteorological fields including three dimensional wind fields, wind perturbations and temperature perturbations; and

    instructions for providing an inversion technique to compute realistic perturbation pressures and perturbation temperature fields, and error magnitudes in the recovered fields, which can be used to predict wind field changes and wind loading over a time duration.
