| Hazard Grid Methodology | This document describes the use of the GFE with the hazard procedures. It discusses the separation of hazards into temporary weather elements, making new hazards, and merging the hazards back into the Hazards grid. |
| SPC Watch Methodology | This document describes the use of the GFE with the SPC Watch techniques. It discusses the initial WCL coordination message, the receipt and plotting of the WOU, and the generation of the WCN using the GFE formatters. |
| PlotSPCWatches | This procedure is used to modify your Hazards grid based on the incoming WOU coordination message from the Storm Prediction Center. The user can choose which watches to add or remove. |
| ViewWCL | This
procedure allows an office to view the WCL product, and use it for
watch coordination with SPC. |
| PlotTPCEvents | This procedure allows an office to plot tropical hazards as
outlined in the TCV product issued by the Tropical Prediction Center. |
| SeparateHazards | This procedure allows an office to separate Hazard grids into
their individual elements, which is useful for editing in complex
situations. |
| MergeHazards | This procedure allow separated hazard grids to be merged back
into the forecast Hazard grid. |
| MakeHazard | This procedure is allows the creation and editing of all
hazards in GFE. |
| HazardRecovery | This procedure, only used in extreme situations, allows all
hazards to be recovered from the internal VTEC active table. Used if
Hazard grid becomes badly corrupted, and no official database exists. |
| Show_ISC_Area Show_ISC_Grid Show_ISC_Info Show_ISC_Highlights |
This set of tools provide discrepancy checking for ISC grids. This set is the baseline version of Tim Barker's (SOO - BOI) set of ShowISC tools. |
| TCMWindTool |
This
procedure decodes a TCM bulletin and makes GFE wind grids derived from
it. |
| GenerateCyclone |
This
procedure is intended to be used for Tropical Depressions, but can be
used to make any cyclonic wind field. |
| CheckTandTd |
Check
MinT, MaxT, T and Td to ensure inter-element integrity. Checks T
against MinT and maxT and checks Td against T. |
