Multi-Colored Wind Vector Display

The Hurrtrak system has the ability to display wind “arrows” around a storm or present a multi-colored wind vector display. The standard wind arrow display on both static and during animation looks like the following

The user can change the plotting and/or animation options to, instead, plot multi-colored wind vectors where the vector color and size represents the wind speed. See Plotting Options and/or Animation Options to view those user preferences. When choosing the multi-colored display it is recommended that you increase the density of the arrow plot and perhaps decrease the arrow size. It all depends on the scale of map being used and the size of your screen display. An example of a vector display is shown below.

The color of the vector is controlled within the plotting user options.
