[IDV #PTA-446784]: Models

Sina,

I think you could benefit from studying the IDV documentation:

- IDV User Guide: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/
- IDV Workshop  Material: 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/workshop/
- IDV Video Tutorials:  http://goo.gl/n0Frpb

Here are a few IDV related technologies that I would like to bring to your
attention:

- ISL: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/isl/index.html
- ZIDV Bundles: 
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/Bundles.html 
- Cloud IDV:

Also, I am not trying to sound pedantic or obtuse, but I am not sure how you are
using the word "model". I define model as a numerical weather simulation such as
GFS or HRRR. The IDV can read and visualize the output of those simulations
typically in grib or netCDF file format. These data can be local to the IDV or
on a remote server.

It sounds like you are using the word model to mean the visualization produced
by the IDV (i.e., an IDV bundle) when you visualize model data.

I examined the the Pivotal Weather site (www.pivotalweather.com) and the College
of Dupage weather site (http://weather.cod.edu/). Both were unknown to me until
now.  If your goal is to do something similar but for the IDV, you have your
work cutout for you, but is in theory possible. For example, you could have
a workflow that looks something like this:

- ISL scripts and corresponding bundles that run on cron or in batch mode 
producing IDV images or movies
- Some sort of script or program to upload those images to your website

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
