VVP Output Options: Line Graphs

VVP products can be displayed in graphical format of VVP wind profile parameters against height. 1, 2, or 3 graphs may be plotted side-by-side.

  1. Use the Product Selection tool to select a VVP product.
  2. Select the Options icon to show the Display Options menu.

    Make sure the Product Type is VVP.

  3. Select Options to show the VVP Output Options menu.

    Either the Graphs or the Time Height submenu is shown.

  4. If Time Height is shown, select Display_Style > Graphs.
  5. Make your changes by enabling the plot parameters you want to use and typing relevant values in the Scale Limits column:
    Wind Speed

    Select to chart the wind speed in the graph.

    Type a value to specify the maximum wind speed you want to plot.

    Wind Direction
    Select to chart the wind direction. You cannot edit the Scale Limits column for this field.
    Divergence
    Select to chart the wind divergence. Type a value to specify the maximum divergence you want to plot.
    Vertical Velocity
    Select to chart the vertical velocity. Type a value to specify the maximum vertical velocity you want to plot.
    Deformation
    Select to chart the horizontal deformation. Type a value to specify the maximum deformation you want to plot.
    Axis of Dilation
    Select to chart the axis of dilatation. You cannot edit the Scale Limits column for this field.
    Reflectivity
    Select to chart the reflectivity. Type a value to specify the maximum reflectivity you want to chart.
    Max Height in km
    Type the maximum height for the data to include in the plot.
    Std Dev Thresh %
    Enter the standard deviation threshold percent for the data to include in the plot. This is used to threshold poor estimates. The scale goes from 0 (no thresholding) to 100 (total thresholding). 80 is a typical value.
    Alternatively, select Defaults to use a reasonable set of default values as a starting point.
  6. Select Apply.

    Your changes are shown in the current VVP display as a graph.

  7. Select Display Options > File > Save.
