Site Updates

The new JavaScript charts have been updated to correct the previous issues mentioned. I also added the ability to save the chart as an image. I have not yet updated the new charting for AXBT diagrams. I will do that next and then will work on redesigning the dropsonde diagram to use JavaScript, rather than Flash which no longer works.

Charts have been updated from Adobe Flash to JavaScript for wind, pressure and model error data in the model system. The charts were operating slow due to a feature that needs to be redesigned. The feature that allowed people to view model identifiers along a model line on the chart was using too much memory using the method that was being used. I removed that option for now. There are also two other minor issues. The grid alignment in the legend where model identifiers are needs to be corrected when model line identifiers are disabled in the chart based on options selected in the options panel. I also need to not have the legend expand fully for the model identifiers. They will be in a box in which you can scroll. I will replace AXBT water depth diagrams in the recon system in the next update. Then I will either work on the feature to show model identifiers or start work on a replacement for dropsonde diagrams.

We have begun deploying some of the new JavaScript diagrams on our site which are replacing some of our Adobe Flash diagrams. So far only model wind and pressure diagrams have been replaced. Model error diagrams will be next, followed by AXBT water depth diagrams in the recon system. After that, we'll begin work on a replacement for the Adobe Flash dropsonde diagrams.

We are currently working on updating Adobe Flash charting to JavaScript. We have a JavaScript chart that will work for wind, pressure, position error and intensity error data in the model system. The chart will also work for AXBT water depth data in the recon system. While we intend to have the charting replaced within the next week for those charting types, we have not yet worked on a dropsonde diagram for the recon system. We don't know when we will have a JavaScript alternative for dropsondes. When we do have one, it is likely to not have the features that our Adobe Flash diagram had, at least at first.
