In this article we present the visualization of NEXRAD
reflectivity data by means of first-order (bilinear)
interpolation. We provide the comparison of the raw and
interpolated data with the corresponding values obtained
from TropiNet radar for weather events occurred in Puerto
Rico. The analysis of the relative error of the interpolated
data confirms that bilinear interpolation gives better
reflectivity estimates than nearest-neighbor interpolation.
The efficiency of the bilinear interpolation algorithm makes
it suitable for real-time radar data visualization
