I'm a bit new to the whole scripting thing...

I have a script that automatically downloads data and creates national surface, 850, 700, 500, and 250 plots (you can see the output here), but if notice the time stamp for the data in the lower right hand corner of the maps is wrong. How do I fix this ...

This may have already been addressed, but I have not been able to find any posts regarding it. I know Digital Atmosphere will run on Windows 7, but before doing an in-place upgrade from Vista Home Premium to 7 Home Premium, do I need to do anything with Digital Atmosphere, or do I just upgrade and go?

Now the geographic points are not even appearing on the map! Please help me.

Sorry. I totally forgot that I had posted this. The points I am referring to are custom geography points (e.g. Home), not the station plots. It almost seems that the lat/long grid is off or something.

My custom points do not seem to be entering in the correct place. In the .pls file, I entered "37.7597N 100.0183W Dodge City" but on the map, it is being plotted around 38.6192N, 101.3831W. Does anyone know what the problem may be? I'm lost.

I just fixed my own problem. Thought I would share just in case someone else ran across this. In Windows Vista, you have to right click the program a click "Run as Administrator" to get it to run. I don't know why this is, but hey, it works.

Whenever I try to load up WINGRIDDS version 2.0, I get an error that says, "Visual Fortran Run-Time Error: forrtl: severe(28): CLOSE error, unit 63, file "Unknown".

I really need help because I don't even know what this means other than the program won't start-up.

I have successfully downloaded archived radar data from NCDC and have untarred it, but Digital Atmosphere will not read it. I get an error message that says "NOERR-Input file not compressed so it was copied to output" in the title bar. I also happened to notice that the data that came after ...

GhccSat is exactly what I was looking for. Had problems loading "standard" images but the "sectors" work fine. Thank a lot!

Does anyone know of any good weather satellite viewing software?
