1. I am not a meteorologist, just someone that follows the weather.
2. A huge number of these scripts were written by others on this board. After spending many hours searching for scripts to use,
or ideas to implement, this is paet of the collection I use, with my additions. Thanks to all those who have posted scripts in the past!
3. Feel free to change colors, cont intervals, whatever.
4. If there is something wrong with my math, etc. feel free to leave corrections on this board. If it is a problem with color choices see #3. Not saying this out of anger, but I do believe in teach a man to fish... I will do my best to answer questions, do not be surprised if my answer is I don't know.
5. Many of the scripts below are approximations. For reasons I cannot explain the SDVC command does not work with large numbers in the constant slot. In calculating L57 for example I have used an average thickness of 2.7K. So these will be ballpark, and sometimes the ballpark is Large. I will note which ones fit this category.
6.All you have to do is copy and paste into a file that you must name in the scripting area. (Click on create-in the DA scripting area, and paste, and name it something you will recognize).
7.Start your copy just before the "erase" and stop copying after "stamp". If you copy more than that, the script may not work.
8.I highly recommend saving these as individual scripts and not try to combine them. If you have experience writing scripts then feel free.
9. The best way to have a script is to write one yourself. I have locked up DA many times with bad scripts, although frustrating it is the best way I know to learn the process. I will do my best to help if I can. I do not check this board everyday so answers might be slow in coming. Hopefully the board will become active again.
10. If you are new to DA, or new to weather analysis. Tim's books are a good place to start. If you are looking for more detail "Practical Meteorology:An Algebra-based Survey of Atmospheric Science" by Roland Stull is a great book. it does not require a mastery of Calculus, just an understanding of algebra. It is priced on Amazon in the range of college text books, on the pricey side.
11. Don't forget to download Fronts, Metar, and UA data for these to work!!!
