McIDAS-V Support Forums

Hi Joleen, Thanks for the excellent ideas and detailed steps for how to write the table data to a CSV file, then change its "FLV1" flight level values to "Altitude" so it can be displayed in 3D! Regarding the bug report (where you found that "the Export to netCDF does not pr...

Hi Joleen, No, the NOAAPORT PIREP data (and thus point files containing it, like RTPTSRC/AIRCRAFT) does not contain pressure levels. If you have McIDAS-X you can see this by running command SEE DCPIRP to see the units and descriptions of the various parameters in PIREP MD files (the levels/layers ar...

Hi Joleen,
Thanks for the request. We agree that adding a HYDRA-like display density plot would be a useful addition. There was not an existing inquiry, so I wrote inquiry 1698 for this request.

Thanks Joleen. Your 2013 AMS Conference presentation has been added -very belatedly - to the McIDAS-V References page - http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/softwar ... ences.html

Hi Kris, I looked at this with Bob, using CALIPSO data from PEATE. We saw the same things as your screenshots. (For the record, we used the General Files chooser with DataType=Hydra data source and in the Field Selector we chose Display=ProfileAlongTrack, with Field=Total_Attenuated_Backscatter_532 ...

Thanks for the samples! We ran varyingLabelSizes.py and were able to see the problems you reported. I wrote this up as McIDAS-V Inquiry 1646: m Although it's rather kludgy and inelegant, I was told the only workaround for now is to use the pause function if you need to have a step wait until the pre...

Hi Joleen, Thanks for the report. I spent time with Bob trying to replicate these issues. We mostly did it through the Jython Shell, both with and without explicitly setting the font size. We were not able to replicate the problem of font sizes changing in layer labels, color scale labels, annotatio...

Hi Henryb,
Thank you for reporting this issue. One of our systems programmers said he saw the same results, but that things still seem to work correctly.

I wrote it up as Inquiry 1638 (http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/inquiry-v/?inquiry=1638) so the programmers can take a closer look and make changes if necessary.

Thanks again,
Barry

Hi Joleen and Kaba, Thanks for the example netCDF file. We tested with it and were able to replicate the Viewpoint problem you described. We also did some additional testing with the file and found that there are more problems with using it than just Viewpoints (we think that its "GEOSProjectio...

Hi Joleen,
Thanks for this request. I wrote McIDAS-V Inquiry 1630 to request that we make the "Aggregate grids by time" option (currently in "Data Type" pulldown) more visible.
