Hi all, There is a ton of great data out there available to the public if you know where to look. Here is a list of just about everything I know about and basic instructions for how to get the data files displayed in McV. Please add to the list if you know of more! NEXRAD radar Display the Level 2 f...

Hi Mike - That is correct, you would use the Vertical Range option when working with the 'Color-Shaded Parameter As Topography' display type. I seem to be having trouble using the display type of "Color-Shaded Parameter As Topography" with satellite data. If I display a loop of 5 images w...

TomW just expertly pointed out to me that when you do a "Color-Shaded Parameter as Topography" you also get a "Vertical Range" setting in the "Layer Controls" tab, which is separate from the "View -> Viewpoint -> Vertical Scale" settings. The "Vertical Ra...

...the "Color-Shaded Parameter as Topography" display control. I think this is more of a request for more flexibility/convenience in the "Color-Shaded Parameter as Topopraphy" control than a bug, so I put it under "Feature Requests". (And sorry Joleen... almost forgot a...

Hey Jon - sorry to throw another one at you, hopefully it 's an easy one though - I've noticed since your "refactored InteractiveShell's..." commit that I get one blank line inserted into the history after each command I type. So, when I hit the up arrow to navigate backward through my his...

I'd be happy to help you out with writing a script to accomplish this, if you'd like to go that route. Where is the data coming from?

I don't have a lot to add here- I just wanted to say that the same problem happens if you only have a single slice of radar loaded, so it doesn't seem to be specific to displaying multiple slices (note, the problem is in the "Radar Sweep View in 3D" display control). I've tinkered with tra...

Hi Kris, I've been confused by this before also - I think what you need to do is: in the Field Selector tab, click directly on "Reflectivity" (NOT on e.g. "Reflectivity Elevation Angle 0.5"... see my screenshot). Then you should have options for "RHI" and "Radar Cr...
