BEAUTIFUL work and powerful tool for everyone to see the true weather picture plus the model analyses and predictions. Keep up the great work. Thanks for your dedication and outstanding work. I encourage all of my friends and colleagues to use your system. Dave Matthews, PhD, http://hydrometdss.com

EXCELLENT works well on Mac Book Pro. Keep up the great work. Thanks, Dave Matthews, PhD
VERY NICE WAY TO CONFIRM MODELS. THANKS MUCH
HOW DOES THE SNOW depth and density verify with observations?
How accurate are the ECMWF total new snow forecasts? at 3 days? 10days? Has anyone evaluated these. I find them fascinating, with maximum I have seen at 543 cm in 10 days on the SE mountains of Greenland. The Andes also have been collecting 2-3 meters of snow in many of these forecasts from June to December. If these are valid, then perhaps we are rebuilding the glaciers?? I watch these forecasts every day. These maximum amounts are also quite sensitive to elevations and appear below the resolution of a 9 km dx model.
Snow depth and density in the ECMWF model? How is this computed? It seems very sensitive to elevations below the 9 km model resolution.
Re: Testers wanted: Weather radar USA!
Looks good with nice time /date info. Would be nice to see the dBZ on your cursor and the radar estimate of QPE / rain rate, etc mm/hr. Hurricane HARVEY is a great test release for you. We should get many valuable comments. Can you superimpose radar QPE map with model QPF for verification?
@blurspot AS A meteorologist I agree that the global spherical coordinate projection is very useful and provides a handy way to visualize the airflow in proper perspective. When looking at the general circulation the N Polar view is great. It also shows the recent warm advection across the Arctic quite dramatically. I think it useful to have the option to switch from Mercator to spherical projections. Windy TV is very powerful and useful. Keep up the great work. I like the NAM5km model for the US. It has the detailed airflow over mountains needed to capture precipitation in the Western US.
