FXC and Graphicasts Sarah Johnson Goodland WFO

What is a Graphicast? Graphicast vs. NDFD  Graphicast is a weather overview

Why a Graphicast? Can give the whole weather “story” Can be more customer friendly than traditional forecasts

Which would our customers prefer?

CR Future Plans Every CR WFO will create Graphicasts using FX Collaborate  GHWO (Days 1-7)  Graphical Now (0-6 hr) Implementation (tentatively) Jan. 1, 2007

FX Collaborate D2D with drawing capability Can display most AWIPS graphics Common weather symbols can be drawn over graphics and backgrounds

Weather Symbols Lines  Lines and arrows Fronts Shapes  Polygon, rectangle, circle, freehand, cloud Contours Precip Aviation  Turbulence, Icing, Obstructions to visibility Cloud (sky cover) Combo Other  Low, High, marker, dust, tropical storms/ Hurricane, wind barb, import image Text

Why FXC? Easy to learn Graphicasts quickly produced Able to customize!!

GFE GHWO Only includes the type of hazards

FXC GHWO Includes more detail, reasons for the severe weather

Examples of Graphicasts Graphical NOW Graphicast/GHWO Graphical RWS Long Term Graphicast

Graphical NOW  0-6 hr, but if radar is included, should be updated every hour

Graphicast/GHWO  Days 1-7 (focused on days of most concern)  Updated at least once per day

Graphical RWS  1-2 day  Usually updated every day

Long Term Graphicast Days 2-7 shows entire period

Other uses of FXC Briefings (FXC has a slide show/briefing tool)  Internal  External (EMs, media, etc.) Post-storm or Post-event summaries Graphics for papers Web briefing graphics Other web graphics
