The Weather Forecasting Forum

Guys:

I know this is going to sound weird especially since older farts like me should "know" more about this than I know. I'm wondering if someone could help me prepare a working script which would download the data, make the charts, then ftp them to my website. I can fill you in more about this offlist, so email me. Link below...

Again, I know this is kind of a silly request, but I could use the help.
Thanks,
Randy <forecaster@charter.net>

Hello Randy

Maybe we can help each other. I explain in a direct mail.

Greetings

Fred

We all might like to see the scripts.

Guest,

Well once we've finished the script, we may post it online for others to modify and use, if they want.

Here one I use for my site. Though actually, I usually do the radar manually:

Comments...
yourmap.dmf - change to map you've created.
line 2 onward - use any directories you have or setup - you may want to use c:\Program Files\DigitalAtmosphereWS\data\ and c:\Program Files\DigitalAtmosphereWS\archive\ - instead
RADAR - put in sites applicable for you
sfcplotmodel - create and save one if you want - I guess you can omit line if you use default
upload - of course, put in your site info

Good luck.
