Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
A timely teachable moment for the vorticity unit in my weather analysis class. http://weather.rsmas.miami.edu:8080/repository/entry/show/RSMAS-UM+Repository+for+atm-ocean+data+and+its+science/The+Mapes+IDV+collection/IDV+Bundles/Boulderflood_synoptics_all?entryid=2409b172-2b85-46c7-b824-05675de1d714 See also this annotated movie about the upper level vorticity precursors. I tell the students every pixel has a circular flow decaying as 1/r, and through these flows the red and blue pixels advect each other. http://weather.rsmas.miami.edu:8080/repository/metadata/view/Boulderflood_soliton_rel_abs_vort300.mov?element=1&entryid=78441aec-e696-48dd-8525-27e5658f9bdd&metadata.id=d908ac3b-be67-4412-97be-bb1597374301
