Another Vorticity Advection Map

Here is another way of displaying vorticity advection. For this product we will use the CTFC (Fill Based Selected Color) command to display the vorticity advection.

Copy the following code and paste into your favorite text editor. Save the file as CFCO.DAT in your WINGRIDDS/USER directory.

----------------------------------CODE-----------------------------------------------

Now copy and paste the following and save this as S04A.CMD in your WINGRIDDS/Macro directory.

-----------------------------------END OF CODE---------------------------------------

You will more than likely have to make some edits to the macro to account for your color palette setup.

That's it for this one enjoy!

Vorticity Advection product

Here is a vorticity advection product I created for WINGRIDDS. Key WINGRIDDS graphic feature used in making this product is the Line Based Graduated Color (CTLG) command whick will be used to show the vorticity advection. See page 154 of the WINGRIDDS Users Guide for further information on the use of the CTLG command. For this display I used the default colors for CTLG so there is no need to create a CLN* configuration file.

The MACRO:

TXT3 500 HEIGHT (gold) / VORTICITY (green) -
TXT4 500 VORTICITY ADVECTION - PVA - red, NVA - blue
ENDL

Your map should look similar to the one found at the following link.

That's it for this one.
