Digital Atmosphere Questions

[CZandbergen]

I have been trying to figure out a couple of things in DA and seem to be having trouble so I thought I would post here and see if anyone could lend a hand. The first thing I would like to know is if anyone has some sample scripts they have created for DA that they would be willing to share. I am not usually this dense, but it would really help if I had something to use as a go by to get started.

The second question is how the heck do you get grib and or other forecast data to work? I seem to be able to import a grib file, but I can't seem to figure out how to work with it once it is imported. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Scripts can be found in the script forum here: http://www.weathergraphics.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9
or here: http://www.usawx.com/digitatmosexamples.htm

Grib data can be imported but ploting it is a different matter! Tim has repeatly stated that the next version will include the ability to use grib data.

Yeah, Greg is right, we have that scripting forum for all of that. I rarely use scripts so I depend on the goodwill of users to share.

The GRIB capabilities are very basic and some GRIB sets may not even work properly. I recognize the importance of GRIB though and am making serious plans to overhaul all this and develop a proper framework for it.

Greg and Tim thanks. I read the DA manual and it pretty much said you are on your own with GRIB data so that is no big surprise. I will take a look at the scripting forum and see if that will help me out.

Thanks again.
