shear vector computation

Post by KC9CGJ »

Is there a way DAWS can compute the average of winds at two separate layers (i.e. at the surface and 500mb) and plot this? I've been playing around with various commands to place in the *.mnu file and it's not working properly.

What I'm looking for (possibly) are shear vectors that are computed from a user-selected level and 500mb. And may develop a similar tool for the 925, 850, and 700mb levels.

Here's what I started out with (and have been working from):
| BKNT LINE=2 SAVG=[1:2] STOR=2 VKNT WIND H925 STOR=1 VKNT WIND

When I run this, it will plot the barbs or vectors, but clearly only plots the wind conditions at 925mb.

By the way, I'm using version 1.1j3...

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks...
