Hi All,

as the huricane season come upon us can DA plot the data?
I played with various files from the net, but have not managed to plot BILL.

Can DA plot Huricanes still, if so what is the site a file's I need?
Is on kind person could post a working Script it would be great.

Hoping
Michael

You can get Hurr center bulletin/progs, and plot with HURRICANE.
What exactly do you want to do?

Hi Wally

I downloaded data from various sources and tried to plot Hurrican BILL. when I tried to plot BILL nothing showed up, although there was data for BILL, in the files I downloaded.

Perhaps I was collecting my data from the wrong place's

The script I use is below...

HURRICANE

Hoping some one can help
Michael

For BILL ... after you load up your map, then ...
download,[url]http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/raw/wt/wtnt23.knhc.tcm.at3.txt,c:\DAdirectory\data\hurr2.dat[/url]
ingest,c:\DAdirectory\data\hurr2.dat
HURRICANE

sub your own location of file for c:\DAdirectory\data\hurr2.dat

It really should work.

Hello Wally

Thanks for the advise, sadly I keep getting, the above error, when the instruction 'HURRICANE' used both in a script and when I use the menu.

I re-installed DA V2.07 standard and the same script sadly the same error appeared.

Any ideas,please

Michael

Hmmm, there are probably others better at this than me, but ...
Did you erase registry entries when you uninstalled and installed?
(only if you still have the registration key, though)
Are you testing this with the short file I suggested, or the huge get everything from everybody script above?
You DID specify your own directory if you used my example, right?

Hello Wally,

Thanks for your time to reply,

I did as you suggeted and installed a (Clean ie del reg enteries) copy of DA, and ran the script as you sugested, (my copy beloe).

download,[url]http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/raw/wt/wtnt23.knhc.tcm.at3.txt,F:\BACK[/url] UP\DA\Data\hurr2.dat
ingest,F:\BACK UP\DA\data\hurr2.dat
HURRICANE

How ever DA still displayed the error, it has comopletely baffled me, perhaps its that version of Da that's at fault, (da-2.07-std.exe), I'm running it on with Vista 64.

Hoping you keep trying to help

Thanks
Michael

Hey guys, I was looking to add my opinion to this problem and I think part of it has to do with the URLs. Could both Wally and Michael please post the entire URL for the hurricane data? Thanks!

Greg

Hello Greg,

The URL's are in blue. Just right click no the Blue URL, and copy short cut, and paste it to something like note pad.

Michael
