METR 2413
Assigned: February 16, 2004
Due: February 23, 2004

Note: Read the "Making a Webpage" and "Introduction to GEMPAK Scripting" tutorials before beginning.

1. Create a simple (or elaborate) webpage on the SoM server http://weather.ou.edu using your rossby account.

2. Write a csh script to make a meteogram (sfgram) for OKC for 26 Jan 2004. It must look like the meteogram for OKC on 15 Feb 2004.

Here are the details:

- A full day's worth of data. (Don't use current file that data is still being added to, use a previous day)
- Background in black or white (your choice)
- Panel 1: Temperature in red, Dew Point Temperature in blue.
- Panel 2: Mean Sea Level Pressure in brown
- Panel 3: Wind Speed in knots in green (key on the left), Wind direction in orange (key on the right, 0-360 degree range, 90 degree intervals)
- Panel 4: Clouds and wx symbol (scale minimum is 0)
- Panel 5: Rainfall over the last hour in blue (scale minimum is -0.01)
- Title at the bottom with your name and the city code in parenthesis.
- Output the meteorogram as .gif file in your web directory
- Note: Here are a list of the colors and sfparms available in gempak.

3. Post links to your script and meteogram in a single page html document and e-mail your URL to laufers@ou.edu using "Computer Assignment 5" as your subject when your website address when complete.


Hints:

• The GIF device is only available on the metlabs, so for most of you, your work will need to be performed on one of the metlab machines.
• When doing this work on a metlab machine, it is an easy task to transfer the file to your web directory on rossby using the scp command (which is the secure copy command that is a part of ssh):
  
  • scp file.gif username@rossby.metr.ou.edu:http/file.gif
