RAMM/CIRA Quarterly Report

A new RAMSDIS Online interactive web page was set up to include tropical products. This Interactive version of RAMSDIS Online uses the VISITview application to allow users to collaborate across distances using real-time satellite data. There are now three versions of VISITview RAMSDIS Online Interactive (GOES-EAST, GOES-WEST, and now Tropical). See this at: http://www.cira.colostate.edu/ramm/visit/rol.html.

RAMSDIS Online was temporarily updated to include GOES-11, 5-minute imagery in support of the IHOP (International H2O Project) field experiment. The satellite was activated from storage to support the experiment. Data were collected and stored at CIRA for future research.
Software that converts Aviation and NOGAPS model data in grib format to McIDAS grid format was written.
