Just wondering if anyone knows how to change the font and size of the "line" label for contours? I have a script that draws the 32F isotherm, but the label for the isotherm is difficult to read and I want to make the font biger. I've gone through "preferences < styles" but cannot...

Hi, I am familiar with scripts and using the "download" command. However, I've run into a problem. I cannot use the "download" command to download from an ftp site, only an http site. I think I need to let the ftp site know a username / password to let me in. Can anyone help? In ...

Hi, I am using a script to plot isotherms, but only specific temperatures (like 70F). It works fine, but I cannot figure out how to change the text color along the isotherm (I can change the font size in preferences < styles < general isopleths. But.... the color of the text is always blue (see atta...

Is anyone else having this problem? I upgraded a few days ago and cannot load the .sps files under "load plot model" under "file / preferences / station plots". I cannot save new .sps files and load those either. I just get something that says "false". I'm going to try ...

Does anyone know of any websites that have METAR / SYNOP reports that can be ingested into Digital Atmosphere (besides the ones that are programmed into DA)?

Not sure if they exist, or need to be purchased through a NOAAport or something along those lines.

Thanks...

Here is a link to an example, this is updated every morning through some type of auto plot: http://www.i...

I often use digital atmosphere to plot precipitaiton during the previous 24 hours. This is very easy to do for the U.S. However, I often try to do this for Argentina and Brazil in South America. I download the 1200 UTC observations to do so. Although it plots the 24-hour max and min temperatures for...
