<hr width="100%">

<p><br>Up to this point you have been using tools in the Grid Manager and
|
||
|
|
Spatial Editor to edit data spatially. There is, however, a different type
|
||
|
|
of editor in the GFE, called the Temporal Editor, that edits data temporally.
|
||
|
|
In the editor, the gridded data is presented data time-series format. This
|
||
|
|
time-series represents the average value over an area that you define (the
|
||
|
|
current edit area) as a function of time. An example of the Temporal Editor
|
||
|
|
display can be found below.</div>

<p>To get to the Temporal Editor, select the button in the button bar that
|
||
|
|
looks like the picture at the right. <img SRC="images/toggle1.jpg" ALT="Toggle Grid Manager/Temporal Editor" HSPACE=3>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you select this button the Grid Manager will disappear and the
|
||
|
|
Temporal Editor will replace it. To get back to the Grid Manager, just
|
||
|
|
press the same button again. Note that the button will change in appearance
|
||
|
|
each time it is selected. If you see no data displays in the Temporal Editor,
|
||
|
|
use the Select Points tool to define an edit area on the Spatial Editor.
|
||
|
|
The edit area that you select in the Spatial Editor is sampled and
|
||
|
|
averaged to produce the time series display.
|
||
|
|
<p>The weather elements displayed in the Temporal Editor depend upon the
|
||
|
|
state of weather elements in the Grid Manager, and the <a href="GFEMainMenu.html#TemporalEditorWeatherElementMode">Temporal
|
||
|
|
Editor Weather Element Mode</a>.
|
||
|
|
<p>The different type of visualizations are shown <a href="#Visualizations">here</a>.
|
||
|
|
Several of the visualizations, such as the <a href="#TimeBar">TimeBar</a>,
|
||
|
|
show the average value as determined from sampling the grid data over the
|
||
|
|
current edit area. For WEATHER and DISCRETE type of weather
|
||
|
|
elements, the <a href="#TEColorBar">TEColorBar</a> visualization will show
|
||
|
|
the various ratios of different weather and discrete values in the sampling
|
||
|
|
area, as shown below:
|
||
|
|
<p><img SRC="images/weatherTEVisual.jpg" NOSAVE height=196 width=831>
|
||
|
|
<p>Some of the visualizations, such as the RangeBar as shown below, will
|
||
|
|
show you data distribution information across the edit area. The
|
||
|
|
user can control the statistics chosen to be displayed, from absolute maximum/minimum,
|
||
|
|
to moderated values, and to standard deviation values.
