WSUP Viewer v7.0 was released on 12/14/2023. Please see release notes below.

New Features: 

  • User Guide:

    • Google Doc (NOAA only) and PDF (accessible by our Gov’t partners) produced in collaboration with Jordan Rabinowitz (ERH)

  • Map Display:

    • Probabilities for user-specified thresholds and value grids for any user-specified probability accessed by clicking the % icon on the options menu bar on the right side of the Map Display

    • NDFD, NBM, and URMA point climatology distributions accessed by holding the SHIFT key while clicking on the desired point on the map. The availability of climatological data for the currently displayed element and valid time is indicated by the presence of indicator icons for each available dataset below the mouseover sampling readout in the upper portion of the map

    • Climatological context maps for NDFD, NBM and URMA produced using quick comparison keyboard toggles (shift N/B/R)

    • Outlier detection within the Component/Member Pie Charts tool. Blue and red flags show low and high outliers in the distribution at a 95% or 99% confidence level

  • Station Browser:

    • Station browser accessible from the right options menu bar provides a searchable list of stations used in WSUP including name, state, CWA, latitude, and longitude

Fixes and Tweaks:

  • Map Display:

    • Corrected coordinates of KLGD (La Grande, OR)

    • Map projection is correct when the display range tool is active and a quick comparison image is displayed

  • 1D:

    • Observed wind speed and gust values are now correct when the user selects units of MPH
