Convective Outlook plotting issue
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2005 5:34 am
After plotting numerous convective outlooks over the past few days, I've noticed DAWS tends to skip points where the station callsign begins with a number instead of a letter (such as "9V9" or "7R4"). The result is often missing line segments of the outlook. I verified that those two stations are in the DAWS station table.
Here is an example of an outlook containing those type of callsigns:
The last line segment ends at LUL (in this case) and a line from LUL to 15 SSE of 7R4 isn't plotted.
Since "9V9" wasn't the last station in the second GEN TSTM group, it looks like DAWS draws a line from SUX to BIS.[/code]
Here is an example of an outlook containing those type of callsigns:
