The Weather Forecasting Forum

The new Fog Index table is now complete (http://raob.com/fog.htm) and is available with the RAOB 6.4 Beta program (http://raob.com/raob64beta.htm).

So far I received 2 suggestions. (1) Develop two Indexes, one for Advection fog and one for Radiation fog -- that is a good idea. (2) Use the moon phase as a predictor -- ha ha -- very funny.

I am currently developing a user-configurable fog forecast index (similar to RAOB's Severe Weather Table) which will consolidate a variety of individual parameters into one overall index.

The RAOB program can be configured to download and create skewt images at user-defined intervals. However, the images can only be printed or saved to file. You would then need to find a way to send the saved images to your website.

Palle,

Anytime you get an error, please send a sample of the sounding data to Customer Support listed here ... http://raob.com/tech_support.php

It only cares what format the sounding data comes in. And if RAOB can not decode the sounding data given it, you can manually enter...
