I have to side with rdale......I know him from the weather community and there's no shortage in the brains department there.
WSB-TV, Atlanta, GA, uses Gibson Ridge Level 2 Analyst Edition. I, too, am aware of NWS offices, including Peachtree City (FFC), that operate GR2AE independent of their equipment. I showed the WCM of JAX the GR2AE program and saw the lightbulb go off above his head.....
From a scientific perspective, the GR2AE's Mesocyclone Detection Algorithm (not to be confused with the post 9.0 build version that Stumpf et.al. at NSSL produced) is a significant tool for identifying major rotation, etc. Also, the recent version of Level 3 added the NWS/NSSL MDA algorithm. Very cool way to identify and quantify rotation...
rdale is constantly posting to this forum and to the GR Forum and I have learned a ton from him and his colleagues within the spotter community. Let's talk about something else, shall we?
