I don't have a working install of IDV in front of me right now, but... There are standard synoptic obs for many stations in Antarctica. There are also METAR obs while aircraft activities are occurring (mainly NZSP and NZIR/NZWD). Any standard decode of global synoptic and/or METAR should work in IDV for Antarctica. Since the UW-SSEC Automated stations are available via ADDE, in theory you could display those as well. Any locally decoded GEMPAK grid of the 0.5x0.5 deg or 1x1 deg global GFS or a GEMPAK grid on a THREDDS server will display forecast data for Antarctica. Surprisingly enough the GFS doesn't do a half bad job for the Ice. Of course you would need the latest release of IDV to support GEMPAK grid files. The AMPS MM5 and WRF output can also be decoded into a GEMPAK grid file and should be viewable in IDV as well.

If you know of sources of such data that can be used in the IDV, please send me word. I understand this will be used to support the NSF Office of Polar Programs (http://nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=OPP). -- Stuart Wier UNAVCO 6350 Nautilus Drive Boulder, CO 80301 (303) 381-7500 x 450 The GEON IDV http://geon.unavco.org For 4D exploration and display of your geophysics data The UNAVCO WInSAR Archive http://winsar.unavco.org _______________________________________________ idvusers mailing list idvusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list information, to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
