elements into the GFE. You could use the Weather Element Browser
|
|
as in the last exercise, but that might be somewhat tedious. The
|
|
quickest way to accomplish this is to load the <a href="GFETrainingGridMgr.html#Load/UnloadWEsviaWEGroups">Weather
|
|
Element Group</a> that corresponds to the Fire Weather elements into the
|
|
GFE. To load a Weather Element Group, from the Main Menu select the
|
|
item </font><font color="#FF0000">Weather Element->Weather Element Groups->FireWx</font><font color="#330000">.
|
|
The GFE will then load those elements used for Fire Weather forecasts.</font>

accomplished by selecting from the Main Menu: </font><font color="#FF0000">Weather

See the section on <a href="GFETrainingGridMgr.html#Load/UnloadWEsviaWEGroups">Loading

|
|
a new Weather Element Group</a> is done via the <a href="MainMenuDialogs.html#WEBrowserDialog">Weather
|
|
Element Browser</a>. First you use the Browser to define the set of weather
|
|
elements and then assign the set a name. Start by displaying the
|
|
Weather Element Browser by selecting from the Main Menu: <font color="#FF0000">Weather
|
|
Element->Weather Element Browser</font>. Then from Source select
|
|
<font color="#FF0000">Fcst</font>, from Field select the items <font color="#FF0000">QPF,

Sky, and SnowAmt</font>, and from Planes select <font color="#FF0000">SFC</font>.

Now still in the Weather Element Browser select <font color="#FF0000">File->Save

|
Weather Element Group</font>. Enter a name and select <font color="#FF0000">Save</font>.
|
|
Now you can close the Weather Element Dialog. From the GFE Main Menu,
|
|
select <font color="#FF0000">Weather Element->Weather Element Groups</font>.
|
|
You should see your newly created Weather Element Group in that list.
