Tim,

Would it be possible to improve the frontdrawing mode with the correct symbols and frontlines for:

-increasing fronts;
-decreasing fronts;
-aloft fronts (upperair fronts/fronts above the surface).

This kind of fronts are offered within the fleet from hb.yacht, but are usefull for manual drawing too.

Second: I found that stationairy fronts from fleet are faced opposite to ASUS: On fleet, cold is pointed north and warm pointed south, where it should be facing south for coldfrontsymbols and north for warmfrontsymbols.
Wouldn't there be a way to plot the fleet stationairy in it's correct direction?

Thanks,

Ton Lindemann

I checked the latest Fleetcode and saw that the stationary fronts plotted with the correct orientation. Are you seeing this regularly? Are there any Fleetcode graphics on the web you can check to make sure it isn't a coding error?

Tim

Tim,

I shall send you an example from January 26, 2005 00 UTC. This set contains a map from UKMO, the fleetcode and the output from DAWS.

Cheers,

Ton Lindemann
