A screen dump of an application to study the output of a regional weather model being used for weather forecasting for the Olympics. Humidity is shown as a pseudo-color isosurface and temperature is shown as pseudo-color, filled- contour bands on north-south vertical slices. All of the parameters are registered with a pseudo-colored terrain map overlaid with coastline, river and state boundary maps. A slice at the 350mb level is shown in a second image with pseudo-color, filled-contour bands of relative humidity overlaid with vector arrows of horizontal winds, pseudo-colored by speed and coastline, river and state boundary maps.
