• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

NEW SPC Mesoanalysis features

Kudos

Excellent job, SPC. What great additions to add, especially for those of us who are also interested in Winter Weather forecasting (to keep the SDS under control in the cold season). The tabs are easier to navigate as well. Great to see more and more products available for those of us lay forecasters out here. Thanks!
 
Wow! Definitely a lot better there with some great features! I like seeing the extras for winter weather, heavy rainfall and even the fire weather parameters that have been added. Kudos to the SPC... Always having good improvements.
 
Very cool indeed!

I am wondering if the "300mb jet circulation", which plots the ageostrophic wind vector, is only the component of the ageo wind associated with quasi-horizontal along-stream acceleration of the wind (e.g. the forcing that leads to transverse circulation within the 4 quads of the model jet streak -- the cross-contour / dV/dn part of the "inertial-advective" term of the ageo wind equation), or if that's the complete ageostrophic wind (meaning it includes other forcings, such as that caused by the curvature term / dV/ds part of the intertial-advective term and the inertial-convective term). Regardless, it's nice to see more excellent maps added!
 
They are opening ok for me. Like everyone has said, kudos to the SPC for adding great features to their already great analysis site.
 
Wow great job SPC. I love the new maps. They will definitely be useful, I can't wait to see the next wave of improvements since it seems to keep getting better and better!
