    Abstract: A method for visualizing weather data via a GUI accessible via a computer display is provided. The GUI provides a map view for displaying a weather map image and an interactive time selection view for displaying a time selection image. The method comprises composing the time selection image that depicts an arrangement of symbols jointly representing a current time period, each symbol representing a respective sub-period of time within the current time period and having an appearance that is descriptive of at least one precipitation characteristic in one or more precipitation data records that include weather data for the respective sub-period of time; receiving an indication of a user-selected time instant; and composing the weather map image by overlaying a weather image on a map image, wherein the weather image is derived on basis of a precipitation data record that includes weather data for the user-selected time instant.

    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and system for gas concentration measurement of gas or gas mixtures dissolved in liquids. A gas or gas mixture dissolved in a liquid sample is extracted from the liquid sample using an extraction system and conducted into a measurement chamber. Then a measurement signal is generated by means of a radiant source and the measurement signal is directed to a measurement object in a measurement chamber containing the gas or gas mixture to be measured. The measurement signal is filtered using at least two wavelengths, whereupon the filtering is preferably implemented by means of an electrically tunable, short-resonator Fabry-Perot interferometer. Then the filtered measurement signals are detected my means of a detector.

    Abstract: A lidar assembly comprises a primary lens assembly for collimating a transmitter beam from a transmitter at a first focal point within the lidar assembly to illuminate a target at a distance from the lidar assembly and for focusing a backscattered light from the target to a receiver at a second focal point; a beam reflector, between the first focal point and the primary lens assembly; a beam sampler, between the beam reflector and the primary lens assembly, for reflecting a portion of the transmitter beam as a calibrator beam; and an optical arrangement for transferring the calibrator beam towards one of multiple targets, that include: a first scattering plate to produce a diffuse reflection of the calibrator beam meeting its surface, thereby invoking a backscattered calibrator beam for transfer to the receiver, and at least one element arranged to prevent provision of the backscattered calibrator beam.
