Hi Mike, > Good point! Looks like those are actually seconds and output is available > every hour to 84 hours for ETA and every hour to 120 hours and every 3 > hours to 180 for GFS. This jives with other data sets for those models. > Make sense? Yes! I think that makes the most sense. Awesome. One other thing that Tiffany had brought up to me, the title in the final output plot of the SkewT and Hodograph is a little misleading, and it might be useful to add the forecast time to that as well. You could modify the plt.title() call to be something like this to see the forecast time in minutes displayed in the title of the plot: plt.title( forecastModel + " " \ + ob.getLocationName() \ + "("+ str(ob.getGeometry()) + ")" \ + ", " + str(ob.getDataTime()) + " " \ + str(ob.getDataTime().getFcstTime()/60) + " minutes") I just added the last line and altered the second last line slightly, from what currently exists in the notebook. I think we will actually update our notebook here in the future to have something more like this as well. --Shay Carter She/Her/Hers AWIPS Software Engineer UCAR - Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XZH-451289 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Urgent Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
