WSUP Viewer v6.0 was released on 03/07/2023. Please see release notes below.

 

New Features:

  • Map Display:

    • Station pie charts that show NBM component counts or GEFS ensemble member counts relative to breakpoints specified via the pie chart icon on the right menu bar. Breakpoints can be set to the dataset value, a constant value, the record max or min (for ThreadEX stations), or RTMA/URMA. Offsets to the breakpoint can be specified as well. Both raw and bias-corrected component/ensemble counts can be shown.

    • Background shading on element menus that indicate elements available in comparisons dataset (yellow) or elements for which component/ensemble pie plots are available (orange) or elements for which both are available (purple)

    • Option to hide selected range in addition to highlighting selected ranges (>= on right menu bar)

    • Option to minimize (-) or close (x) dialogue windows that are created from the right sidebar

    • GIS layers grouped by surface, aviation, and marine with new layers for high sectors by CWSU and the CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index by theme

    • CWSU and RFC zooms for quick access under the Domain menu

    • NDFD snow-to-liquid ratio for Alaska and Hawaii

    • More forecast projections for SnowAmt06, Total SnowAmt, IceAccum06, and Total IceAccum available for more NBM initialization times

  • Point Vis:

    • NBM components for QPF06, Wind Direction, and Wind Gust

    • NBM Transport Wind Speed and Mixing Height

  • Component Weights:

    • NBM elements with non-dynamic expert weights

    • NBM Transport Wind Speed and Mixing Height

Bug Fixes: 

  • Map Display:

    • Restoration of grid-based wind barbs, daily total QPF (NBM), MSLP 90th-10th percentiles (NBM Oceanic), and snow-to-liquid ratio (URMA)

    • Display Range slider no longer resets when you move the map 

    • NDFD PoP12 delta images now display

    • Erroneous RTMA/URMA init time no longer shown on label for delta grid

    • RTMA/URMA station-based wind barbs now display in the comparison tool

    • Spatial resolution of Alaska RTMA data has doubled
