Trouble with my fronts!!
Trouble with my fronts!!
Hello! I am trying to plot front with DAWS version q. When I use the supplied data, I get a mess of curved fronts that seem to repeat...I used Mr. Mayo's suggestion as seen here viewtopic.php?t=325 and all I get are straight lines across the map!! What is going on here?
Thanks,
John

I too had problems with fronts. My work around was to only download the fronts by themselves and dump it into a folder of their own e.g. download,http://www.hamweather.net/weather/asus0 ... C:\Program Files\DigitalAtmosphereWS\Fronts\front.dat
import,C:\Program Files\DigitalAtmosphereWS\Fronts\front.dat
product,wxp,plot
import,C:\Program Files\DigitalAtmosphereWS\Fronts\front.dat
product,wxp,plot

Ok you guys, I'm almost sorry I suggested the hamweather site. SOMETIMES, they mess up the ASUS01 file, and it is doubled - the data is listed twice in the file, slightly altered and slightly different time. It usually only happens once in a while. You can edit out the first half when it happens.
Didn't have this (usually not very often) fluke with Albany, but it sure was easier to deal with time-token wise.
Part of what I'm affirming here is that I've seen the data in the hamweather file when it had "funny" plots for me, and it is NOT the fault of DAWS, it is a corrupted ASUS01 file.
....unless you've discovered a different problem. I will look closer at my experience.
BTW - I have been doing separate imports for fronts, before or after other operations - usually by script.
I must say, I've NEVER had anything look like the first example above, but I've had plots look like the 2nd example (again, just occasionally).

Well, it looks like some last-minute gremlins crept into the official release of DAWS. There are the problems described above, plus, the front drawing tools themselves are inoperative because of an error of some kind. I imagine Tim will get right on this when he gets back next week. In the meantime, I've gone back to v1.0q.
