<title>GFESuite Documentation - Behavior of GFE in ISC Mode</title>
|

<body>

|
<h1 align=center><a name="ISC"></a>Behavior of the GFE when in ISC Mode</h1>
|
|
<hr width="100%">
|
|
<p>When the <img nosave="" src="images/toggleISC.jpg"> button
|
|
is pressed, the GFE is put into the ISC (intersite coordination)
|
|
mode.
|
|
The data viewed in the spatial editor will be the composite of your
|
|
forecast
|
|
data and the adjacent received site's data. Certain edit tools,
|
|
such
|
|
as Pencil, also work different in ISC mode. The data values are
|
|
picked
|
|
up may be either from your forecast grid or from the intersite
|
|
coordination
|
|
grid depending upon the location on the grid.
|
|
<p>Try placing the GFE into ISC mode and observe how the display
|
|
changes.
|
|
You may have observed that the entire grid is no longer pictured.
|
|
If so, this means that data is not available from all of your
|
|
surrounding
|
|
sites. Note also that your forecast grid is clipped to your CWA.
|
|
Use the Sample Tool and note that when you sample outside your area
|
|
that
|
|
the samples will now shown an update time and site identifier from the
|
|
ISC sites (if those features are enabled).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Try using the Pencil Tool and Move/Copy tool to change some
|
|
data.
|
|
Note that it uses the values from the composite grid for its operation,
|
|
but you may not see the entire data change. Since only a portion
|
|
of your forecast grid is shown (just those parts within your CWA),
|
|
changes
|
|
you make to portions of your grid outside your CWA will not be seen
|
|
while
|
|
in ISC mode. Toggle off ISC mode to see your entire forecast
|
|
grid.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Markers (similar to samples) may appear, which represent one
|
|
location
|
|
per adjacent grid. The markers may be set up to display the last
|
|
grid update time, the WFO identifier, and whether the ISC data was
|
|
published
|
|
or is the working grid.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>While most of the weather elements simply are masked so that you see
|
|
your Fcst database within your CWA, and the ISC data outside your CWA,
|
|
some ISC elements are calculated on-the-fly. For example, the QFP
|
|
weather element for ISC is a virtual, as shown with the VISC label in
|
|
the spatial editor legend. There is a QPF ISC element, and a
|
|
virtual QPF ISC element. The virtual element is the summation of
|
|
all of the "precipitation rates" and is valid the same time period as
|
|
the Forecast grid.<br>
