The first script to test was the meteogram, below is a sample based on today’s 12Z forecast. I thought I would share it here and see if any of you want to give me some feedback while it is sitting on the top of my to-do list. I don’t modify these scripts all that often, so now is the time to express yourself, if you have an opinion. </div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The 3-hourly output goes out to hour 240, so now it’s a 10-day meteogram. That forced me to draw it in an 11x11 page to keep it readable. The image size will be bigger, too. The increased vertical resolution makes the top panel a bit crowded, even though I expanded its vertical real estate by merging the SLP and 1000-500mb thickness panels. I know the cloud cover variables are not of great interest, but please don’t vote to have them removed, I really like the way it appears that the bars in the precip panel are falling out of the clouds. For comparison, here is the link to the 0.5-degree meteogram: <a href="http://wxmaps.org/pix2/dcagfs.png" class="">http://wxmaps.org/pix2/dcagfs.png</a>. </div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you are kind and helpful, I will package up the new script with a wrapper to get the needed data from our GDS to make it easier to draw a high-res meteogram for any location. </div><div class="">—Jennifer</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><span id="cid:6C35476A-D7B2-4C25-A8B6-240B2D9BBF84"><Screen Shot 2015-01-16 at 4.38.11 PM.png></span><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
