These are "one line" analysis that can be added to the analysis drop down list. ***If you do not have the pro version of DA you probably can't add all of these as it would put you over the limit (I haven't counted how many there are below). Before you start, copy the list that came with DA...

Forgot to mention this earlier. If you want to learn about tornadic storms I recommend the OU SCAMS videos feat. Rich Thompson of SPC. There is also a website to download the power points he used during presentation. Cannot over recommend them, if you are interested in Torn. OU Videos: https://www.y...

Other stuff I forgot about: 1. The two precip scripts are contours, if one station reports 0.3 and no other station reports rain the cont. will show an area of rain where no rain is occuring. I actually use a station plot that shows the rain data. Remember 3hr precip product is not put out on an hou...

This will be my last post for a while.

The SPEED shear do not show Direction. Vectors are not my strong point. I have tried using SDIF with vect. They often "look" correct, but I am not sure of accuracy. So they are not shown. Anyone, with a greater understanding of vector calculus and knows the coding of DA might be able to he...

I figured I would start posting some scripts that I use. A few things first: 1. I am not a meteorologist, just someone that follows the weather. 2. A huge number of these scripts were written by others on this board. After spending many hours searching for scripts to use, or ideas to implement, this...
