Variable viewer

Description

The georeferenced images of the following variables are shown:

• Temperature at 2m: The georeferenced images of the forecast temperature at 2 meters in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, and in the Canary Islands are shown.

• Wind speed at 10 meters in kt: The georeferenced images of the wind module in knots predicted at 10 meters in the Peninsula and Balearic Islands, and in the Canary Islands are shown.

• Cloud cover: The georeferenced images of the predicted cloud cover are shown as a percentage of covered sky seen from the surface, in the Peninsula and Balearic Islands, and in the Canary Islands.

• Low cloud cover: The georeferenced images of the predicted cloud cover of low clouds are shown in percentage of covered sky seen from the surface, in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, and in the Canary Islands. Low clouds are considered when the height of the cloud base is less than about 8200 feet.

• High cloud cover: The georeferenced images of the predicted cloud cover of high clouds are shown in percentage of covered sky seen from the surface, in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, and in the Canary Islands. High clouds are considered when the height of the cloud base is greater than about 16,400 feet.

• Cloud Top Height: Georeferenced images of the predicted cloud top height, in thousands of feet, over the Peninsula and Balearic Islands, and in the Canary Islands. Images are displayed only when the cloud cover is equal to or greater than 5 oktas.

• Cloud base: The georeferenced images of the forecast cloud base are shown, in thousands of feet, in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, and in the Canary Islands.

• Rain accumulated in the previous hour: The georeferenced images of the accumulated rain predicted in the previous hour, in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, are shown , and in the Canary Islands. Shown in mm.

• Snow accumulated in the previous hour: The georeferenced images of the accumulated snow predicted in the previous hour, in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, are shown , and in the Canary Islands. Shown in mm.

• Gust speed: The georeferenced images of the predicted wind gust module are shown in knots at 10 meters, in the Peninsula and Balearic Islands, and in the Canary Islands.

Use

The application initially shows the closest available instant of time to the current one for each one of the images. The tabs at the top of the screen allow you to change the type of image to be displayed. The dropdown at the top of the screen allows you to change the variable. Animation controls allow looping:

•  Start button: Starts the looping presentation
•  Pause button: Pause the looping presentation
