PART I
Acquire current satellite image and discuss the weather of a particular region. Use appropriate weather observations (surface obs, raobs, warning, soundings, etc.) to support your discussion.
Part II
Acquire satellite images (visible of water vapor) around 12Z or 0Z. Using a time sequence of images determine approximately wind speed and direction for 5 locations. In your discussion include
- How you did this.
- How would (or did) you validate this retrieval?
- What do you not know about this derived wind?
- How does the difference in time impact your retrieval?
Some useful McIDAS commands:
DIST
FONT SET TIMBR (or use FONT LIST to pick other font types)
ZA 3 12 "text here (to write text directly to the screen)
ZA 3 12 "$4 (to make an arrow - the number determines the direction)
