Our Skywarn group has our own linux port of the wsr88d workstation taking the free-to-nonprofit live feed so we can plot & zoom separately.

Another question is if region is big enough that convergence will warp a bounding box in degree coords, and if that with tools & projection will expand output beyond what you expect. I would suggest temporarily adding explicit grid points into the dataset to see what's where in the output. BOX and MQE have an annual conference, when you get this working, you should come present it! www.s*neweather*conf.org I need to look at *nik2img, *sounds useful * * -- Bill [email protected] [email protected]
