Hourly Precipitation at 4 km and 1 km between Data Points
Description
This page contains an animation that is a visualization of a Deep
Thunder forecast.
It uses data combined from the intermediate nest at 4 km resolution and the
inner nest at 1 km. Each time
step corresponds to one hour of forecast time. The specific
data and representation shown are for potential use for model analysis
and evaluation. In this case, the main feature is pseudo-
color contour bands of hourly accumulated total precipitation
following the legend at the upper left. The map is overlaid
with coastlines, state and national boundaries in black and
rivers in blue.
Instructions
The animation on this page is composed of a set of individual JPEG images
with one hour of forecast time between each frame. Depending
on your connection speed and that of your computer, the animation may take
a few minutes to load and decompress in your browser. When
it is completed, the animation will play. There are VCR-like
controls under the animation to enable you to stop playback, play forward
or backward, or step through the frames one at a time, control the speed
of playback, etc. If you are having problems viewing or interacting
with this animation, make sure your browser has Javascript enabled.
If the forecast information presented on this page does not seem to

you should change your cache settings (e.g., File->Preferences->Advanced->Cache
in Netscape and set the document comparison to "Every time"). When you
restart your browser, the problem should be solved. For your current session,
you should manually clear the cache and reload the page.
