Changing the map geographical area

Right-click on an_1x1.mv icon and select  'Edit'.

In the edit window that appears you can see the map types available covering a different area:

#Map type: 0=Atl-an, 1: Atl-fc, 2: France 
mapType=0

With mapType=0 , the map covers a large area centred on the Atlantic suitable for plotting the analyses and track of the storm (this area is only available for the analyses).

With mapType=1 , the map also covers the Atlantic but a smaller area than for the analyses. This is because the forecast data in the following exercises does not cover as large a geographical area as the analyses.

With mapType=2 , the map covers a much smaller region centred over France.

Change, mapType=0   to   mapType=1   then click the play button at the top of the window.

Repeat using mapType=2 to see the smaller region over France.

These different regions will be used in the following exercises.

Animate the storm on this smaller geographical map.
