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.

[idvusers] Fwd: Blue Sky

High Yuan -
Great seeing you this past week. As per our conversation, here are the "big-ticket" items that I mentioned during the usercom for IDV enhancements/fixes...
Steven


•Improve the sounding and hodograph in IDV. NSHARP has quite a few additional 
parameters -
such as 0-2 and 0-3 km Helicity, BRN, BRNSHR, etc. Also a bunch more 
thermodynamic quantities, storm motion, etc.

•Issue with not being able to display surface (WMO 'Present') weather symbols 
from the Gempak formatted files. This is a real problem as we discussed. You indicated
that this might be a look-up table issue.

•Issues with generating dumping NetCDF surface obs from IDV. I am unable to do 
this - despite efforts trying to walk through it
on the phone last fall.

•Issues with satellite processing when ordering from NOAA class server (count 
vs radiance issues).

•Getting Satellite - polar orbiter - esp scatterometer, altimeter, wave height, 
lightning (TRMM), cloudsat products, etc. into IDV

•ACARS? Kevin T wanted MADIS... This is similar.

•Quality of vertical cross sections could be improved.

•WRF output doesn't have standard variables needed to generate logp-skewT (per 
Mike Baldwin's request/problems)
