Real-time meteorological data can be easily accessed and analyzed using McIDAS-X. Point data (i.e. observations at a particular location) are decoded and stored in McIDAS MD (Meteorological Data) files. The MD files contain information such as surface hourly weather data, radiosonde observations, ship and buoy observations, NCEP forecast guidance (FOUS), and surface synoptic data.
MD files can be used for creating plots, generating isentropic surfaces and stability parameters, and displaying soundings and cross sections. This lesson uses the basic commands to display, copy and list point data.
This lesson describes how to:
Command | Function | |
DMAP | lists information about files | |
DSINFO | lists ADDE datasets on local and remote servers | |
DSSERVE | manages dataset names on the local server | |
HODO | plots a hodograph of upper-air data | |
LSCHE | lists an MD file schema | |
MDU | MD file utility | |
PTCON | contours point data | |
PTCOPY | copies point data | |
PTDISP | displays point data | |
PTLIST | lists point data | |
RAOBCON | contours upper-air data from IRAB-schema point files | |
RAOBPLOT | plots upper-air data from IRAB-schema point files | |
SCHE | adds a schema to the schema file | |
SFCCON | contours surface hourly data from ISFC-schema point files | |
SFCLIST | lists surface hourly data from point files | |
SFCMG | displays a surface meteorogram | |
SFCPLOT | plots surface hourly data from ISFC-schema point files | |
UACROSS | plots a vertical cross section of upper-air data | |
UALIST | lists upper-air data | |
UAPLOT | plots a sounding on a thermodynamic diagram |
