Turns out I'm not perfect, so here are some modifications/clarifications/suggestions for the code. I will update as I become aware of them.

We're plotting 850mb Temps, MSL, and 10m Winds, as it says in the files I gave you.

monthlyavg.exec

no tips currently

hourlymean.exec and hourlyanom.exec

Titles/strings

-See the file /home/gwest/capstone/hourly/scripts/hourlymean.exec

-I've made changes to the 'set string' 'set strsize' and 'draw string' lines that are at the end of each 3-hr section

-Also I added a 'draw title' line to the end of the 03z section
-if you've modified your hourlymean.exec file already, just cut and paste the certain parts

-if you havent modified yours yet, just copy this file into your directory

Winds

-We'll be using vectors so use the proper 'gxout' option

-I recommend using 'set arrscl 1 10' after setting your 'gxout', this will keep the vectors a fix scale, and make inter-plot comparisons possible

-You'll find that using the 'skip(variable_name*1.94, 3,3)' doesnt give you much wind detail, so take out the skip so that it's just 'ucomponent_name*1.94;vcomponent_name*1.94'

**UPDATE** (11/2/06)

In the hourlyanom.exec file, it says that Anomaly = dailyavg - hourlyavg, this is incorrect, you actually want to do the hourlyavg - dailyavg

Make sure you're plotting 850mb temps, not surface or 2m.

Remember to set the level before you run the 850mb temp avging script.

Remember to set your domain info at the beginning of each time. Remove the 'clear' line from your code.
