Task 1: Mean-sea-level pressure & wind gustRight-click the mouse button on the 'an_1x1.mv' icon and select the 'Visualise' menu item (see figure right) After a few seconds, this will generate a map showing two parameters: mean-sea-level pressure (MSLP) and 3hrly max wind-gust at 10m (wgust10). Use the play button to animate the map and follow the development and track of the storm. You can use the 'Speed' menu to change the animation speed (each frame is every 3 hours). Task 2: Geographical regionRight-click the mouse button on the 'an_1x1.mv' icon and select the 'Edit' menu item (see figure right). An edit window appears that shows a number of lines of 'Metview macro' code. During these exercises you can change some of these to alter the parameters and plot types.
Change, Animate the storm on this smaller geographical map. Task 3: Plot wind fieldsChange the fields plotted to include the wind arrows. Make sure you have the Edit window showing.
As above, click the play button and then animate the map that appears. You might also want to change the mapType back to 'mapType=1' to show the larger geographical area. Discuss the storm development and behaviour with your colleagues & team members.
That completes the first exercise. If time:
