Hi Conrado- My colleague put together a sample script that should do what you need. I tested it in 1.6 and a recent nightly and it works in both versions. You will just need to substitute your local file names, directories, parameters, etc. that you wish to use. # The below script loads in a full di...

Hi Conrado- I talked to my colleagues and we had a couple questions for clarification. 1. What type of data are you working with? Gridded data or imagery or something else. We wanted to clarify this because we wanted to choose the correct functions to use. 2. For your output, are you asking for how ...

Hi Francois- I believe you would need to display your hurricane track information to plot the track of a storm. Then you could reproject it in any way you'd like and save the viewpoint or domain. What type of hurricane track data do you have? You can import a text file and assign parameters with our...

Hi Kris- Bob found inq. 1935 that deals with the max over time steps formula not handling missing data or 'nan' values correctly. We believe this is the problem (not the unsigned bytes). Bob has been unable thus far to get this working with NcML or through a formula, but here's a script that produce...

Hi Kris- I'm seeing the same behavior. I'm going to hypothesize that this is due to Visible Texture Detection Rating being an unsigned byte array (like in your previous thread - http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1702). Perhaps when it's going through the max over time steps...

Hi Kris- The Edit -> Display Settings will apply the same attributes to all of the layer labels that you specify. The labels will still move up and down when you animate. It doesn't group them into one label unfortunately. We were wondering how you are loading the data? Through netCDF files, or from...

Hi Kris- I talked with Bob a bit and the best way we can come up with is to use the Merge time sequences formula. - Load your 4 data sources - In the Field Selector, choose the Formulas -> Grids -> Time Steps -> Merge time sequences, click Create Display - Choose the 4 variables you want to display ...

Hi Kris- I am having success using the formula Grids -> Time Steps -> Max over time steps to produce a display or value plot of the max value of a time series. Here are the steps I'm using. Perhaps you can apply them to your data. - I have a set of 4 netCDF files, 1 minute apart. - In the Data Sourc...

Hello-

In the Data Sources tab of the Data Explorer go to Radar->Level II->Remote. The default catalog will have real time Level 2 radar data. Click "Connect" and choose a station, times, and click Add Source.

Thanks, Jay

Hello- To get the data from NCEI into McIDAS-V, follow the instructions in steps #1 and #2 from bobc's post above. Real time Level 3 radar data is available in the Level III radar chooser. adde.ucar.edu or adde.ssec.wisc.edu are the two most common servers we use. Use RTNEXRAD for the Dataset: field...
