Publisher's description of IWMAP v1.0
IWMAP is an interactive program which provides the user with a large array of internet data useful in making short-term (0-6 hour) forecasts of convective weather phenomena. IWMAP?s key feature is the ability to display and manipulate the current 0HR RUC forecast wind profile. The hodograph which is produced utilizes the Bunkers ID method for forecasting storm-motion, which has been shown to be a superior way of determining supercell storm motion. Parameters such as storm-relative helicity as well as vector shear magnitudes are then computed and displayed next to the hodograph. RUC thermodynamic parameters are also ingested into the program and displayed as well. The value of IWMAP lies in the fact that the user can adjust the wind profile based on the observations a forecaster makes for their area of interest. The CAPE, LCL height, and CIN can be adjusted as well, resulting in more accurate composite parameters utilized in determining supercell and tornado potential for a particular region.An additional feature of IWMAP is the ability to display internet data within the browser window, while at the same time keeping the shear and thermodynamic parameters visible to the side. This allows the user to view a multitude of weather graphics quickly, which will aid in determining convective initiation, storm type, and severe weather potential. The interactive functionality of IWMAP makes it a unique tool in the severe weather forecasters arsenal, and will prove to be a more efficient way in diagnosing and visualizing the current severe weather environment using internet data.
Requires Microsoft .NET Framework. (Note that .NET Framework is included in Windows XP. It is recommended to update to the latest version.)
