9. INTERPRETATION OF 2.A: CLOUDS AND RAIN(RADAR) UPDATED HOURLY(24 HRS): SOUTHERN AFRICA, USA, EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA

The new symbols that you are seeing are due to use upgrading our displays of South Africa.

              You now see Temperature (C) as cyan numbers for reported locations throughout SA. The WHITE letters that appear below the Temperature are the reported Weather event (like rain, haze, fog, etc). Here is a list of some of the more frequent abbrevations.
               R = rain R- = light rain R+ = heavy rain
               RW = rain shower D = drizzel W = shower
               T = thunder TR = ThunderStorm TRW=ThunderShower TRW+ = heavy ThunderShower
               S = snow IP = Ice pellets ZR= freezing rain
               F = fog   H = haze K = smoke   U = Unknown

                There is a complete list at this site
                             http://www.nws.noaa.gov/glossary/

               The blocks indicate the location of surface reporting stations. The color of the block indicates the Flight Rules (VFR, MVFR, IFR and LIFR) reported at the location (GREEN = VFR, CYAN=MVFR, RED=IFR, MAGENTA=LIFR). These locations are "clickable". By tapping/clicking on these locations, you will get the last 24hrs of METAR reports.

               For example: on this map -> http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/paw/afsa_fajs_clds_anim_none.html   you see a block over Johannesburg . Move your cursor/pointer to that location and click on it. You will see the following:
                        http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/paw/sfcobsfajs.html
This is the weather observations for Johannesburg over the past 24 hours. The output is formatted for display on a smartphone. All points on the displays that have these blocks are clickable.

               If you tap/click on the PLOT button at the top of the image display, it displays a menu that allows you to plot locations of Wild Fires. The IMAGE button allows you to switch between Satellite RainRate, Clouds and a new type of display that we are creating, Forecast Precipitation.

YOWINDOW

Experimental

BRAND NEW VISUAL INTERACTIVE WEATHER PRESENTATION

See the weather- like through a window- facing north- without ever looking at numbers.

* If you'd like more out of your weather reports than a simple sunshine icon and the high and low for the day, YoWindow gives you a real time and animated peek into today's weather and forecast.

* A landscape reflects the actual weather and the sunlight at your place. YoWindow gives you real time and projected weather as an animated sequence complete with sunrise and moonrise, clouds, and precipitation

* It takes the concept of "looking out the window" and stretches it a bit. A pastoral animated landscape reflects the current weather in your location, or in any other location that you select.

* There's a slider on top of the image that you can drag to see the forecast (as well as past weather). The slider shows sunset and sunrise times, and when you drag it over those times, you get a neat animation, and the landscape changes accordingly. You can also click on day icons right below the slider and extend the forecast up to four days into the future. When you select a different location(if activated), the application doubles as a world clock, and you can see the exact remote time and weather conditions.

* The handiest button is on the lower-right corner; that's the full-screen button. If you try the tool, be sure to click it. The experience is completely different in full-screen mode; it's really nice to look at. It's only full-screen as long as you don't click anywhere.

* To exit full screen mode, press "esc" on key board.

* Click on "live"- the weather NOW will be in the big block right top(with name of city). Forecasted weather in small blocks left top.

* Use slider( green when live- otherwise white) on top and drag to see the time and days forward and back- play with it- it is really fun!

* Weather now- from nearest weather station at an airport. YoWindow picks the closest METAR(usually at an airport) station to the location you choose. Then the current weather is loaded from this station Forecasted weather- from the forecast is delivered by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.

* Direction from "window"= north.

* Occasionally, you may notice interesting objects in the skies like a plane or a shooting star. Watch the smoke from the house and the wind data.

* The location of the sun, moon, moon phase, sunrise and sunset times correspond to the actual values for the place you choose.

* You can use YoWindow as a reliable world-clock. Whatever location you choose, the local time displayed by YoWindow is correct.

* Occasionally, you may notice interesting objects in the skies like a plane or a shooting star.

This is an experiment- if you like it or don't, please let me know.
