Hi Aaron:<br><br>Just out of curiosity, It seems that you are working on hurricane lightning, which was the main topic of my PhD and of my future postdocs at the Hurricane Center and LANL. I am more concentrated on modeling the lightning within real cases. I published an idealized simulation of lightning within a hurricane like vortex (if you are interested just let me know).
<br>If you have any publication on this topic, I would be very interested in reading them.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Alex- <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 14, 2008 4:54 PM, Mr Aaron Pratt <<a href="mailto:aspratt2000@yahoo.com">

The script was set up to read a text file with lat and lon (with lon varying from 0 to 360), and it would plot the points on a map. I want to modify the script so that I can plot up lightning strikes. I have the original script (which I've attached to this email), but not the ctl file that needed to be open. When I initially ran the script, I was told that the ctl file was a "dummy" file. i don't have that ctl file, but I was wondering how I could create another ctl file for this script. Thanks in advance to all who might be able to help,
