Mmmm.... ensembles...

What's New:
1. Ensemble support. BUFKIT supports up to forecast profiles with up to 16 ensemble elements.
2. Plume Diagrams. Many of the BUFKIT overview displays can be toggled into plume displays
3. Snow Accumulation. Summing up hourly snowfall amount to get a total is not the way snow is measured. BUFKIT 10.5 provides a new “Snow Accumulation†plot to align hourly model output with official snow measurement procedures.
4. Keyboard Shortcuts. BUFKIT 10.5 provides many keyboard shortcuts for commonly used functions. Examples include the arrow keys to navigate through time and ensembles, and the “E†key to toggle ensemble elements on and off.
5. CAPE-Shear diagrams. Three new CAPE-Shear diagrams are available on the profile panel.
6. Geographic site selection. In addition to choosing a site by its ID. You can now use the Map display to select a forecast profile.
7. Compressed BUFKIT file support. Bufkit 10.5 (and Bufget) accepts “.BUZ†files in addition to “.BUF†files. The .BUZ files are less than 30% of the size of the equivalent “.BUF†file.
8. Time cursor. On the overview display, the current selected forecast hour (displayed on the profile panel) is highlighted with a vertical cursor. (The keyboard shortcut “C†toggles the cursor on and off.)
9. Profile in Picture (PIP). When PIP is selected, BUFKIT inserts a forecast profile into the overview display. The forecast hour is determine by the left-clicking the mouse on the overview display.
10. BUFGET Enhancements. BUFGET can now support 20 site lists. Also, BUFGET retrievals are now much more robust and can recover from incorrect URLs.

Works great with dual-monitor since you can sync them together.
