The Weather Forecasting Forum

Hello guys (and gals!)

Now that I'm back up on my feet, well about 80% anyway, following a fairly significant heart attack, I need to ask a few things with regarding writing scripts to FTP charts to web sites and such.

1. Can anyone provide an example of how to write FTP scripts?

2. Can anyone tell me how to write a color filled temperature aloft script? I need one for 850mb through 500mb levels.
3. Does anyone have a color filled sea surface temperature script which can be used with DA WS maps?
4. Does anyone know how to contour the freezing level in DA?

Paul, our webmaster was covering for me while I was recovering from my attack. Any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Randy

I can probably help on the following item:

3. Does anyone have a color filled sea surface temperature script which can be used with DA WS maps?
This is a SST color filled script and can be modified to suit your requirements.
It has been written on 3 lines only for the colour fill operations and therefore runs quickly ie. the start of each line says 'ANALYZE,OVER FILL' etc.

The SFCPLOTMODEL I use shows SST overlaid on the coloured bands.

Regards Peter

Hey Pete:

I want to thank you for your help with this script. It will go well with our tropical page.
