I just want to send a gentle reminder about wind plots not working in AWIPS
CAVE. I don't have an expectation for repairs to be done, but the
unavailability of vector fields is a very significant omission and it removes
probably 70% of the forecasting value of AWIPS. I just want to see if someone
might take a look at this.
Quick runthrough: Start AWIPS CAVE, go to Models, NAM 40km, show 850 mb
Wind/Height. You will only get heights. The wind data does not plot. Also
wind data does not plot on any product at all in any of the menus.
Also related, the Surface > METAR Plot data doesn't plot but I know this has
been acknowledged. I get "METAR Not Loaded", even though the panel shows
"20.0400" which is current. Upper Air data (e.g. for 250 mb) has the same kind
of problem.
I have a public outreach on YouTube (MetLab) where I sometimes demonstrate
AWIPS CAVE, and each time I can only show them the scalar fields like height.
It would be great to be able to show more capabilities.
