The final element in a forecasting operation is validation/verification of the results. An important validation/verification tool is visualization. The netCDF output of HOPS should be readily imported by most visualization software. As a convenience we provide several simple visualization tool built on the NCAR Graphics® libraries.
This package is a collection of programs to provide 2-dimensional sections of the 4-dimensional (space & time) HOPS output fields. The basic programs provide either horizontal or vertical plots in either color-maps or black & white contours:
Color | Black & White | |
Horizontal | ccnt_ncar | cnt_ncar |
Vertical | csec_ncar | sec_ncar |
The color versions are a little easier to visually digest. The black & white versions are more readily shared over fax (e.g. ship to shore).
