Change the SRM Product Storm Motion in the Radar Display Controls GUI - OCLO

Purpose:

This task will demonstrate how forecasters can update the storm motion estimate used by the Storm-Relative Velocity Map (SRM) product. There are three different ways to change the velocity estimate for SRM in the Radar Display Controls GUI. This task will show how to set a custom storm motion. The other two methods (use the storm track from WarnGen and use the STI average motion) are implemented in a similar manner.

Tasks:

 

1. From one of your dedicated radar menus, select xxxx SRM (where xxxx is the radar name), then select 0.5 SRM best res.
2. From the Tools menu, select Radar Display Controls.
   
3. In the SRM section of the Radar Display Controls GUI, left-click on the Custom Storm Motion radio button (if not already selected).
4. Set the custom storm motion using one of the following three methods:
   1. Method 1: Left-click on the numeric value text box to the right of one of the slider bars and type in the exact value you want.
   2. Method 2: Left-click on the up and down arrows to the right of the Custom Storm Motion text boxes to increment the values up or down.
   3. Method 3: Left-click and hold on the slider bar and drag it.
      • If the product does not immediately update, try zooming in or out in the main display panel.
      • If the SRM product still doesn’t respond, try clearing the main display panel and restarting this task while ensuring you load SRM and not V.
5. Task Complete!
