pGLM colortables

We have asked a few of the forecasters to compare colortables for the pGLM product using the storms over central Oklahoma.  Hopefully, we should see some opinions/posts coming soon.

The communications with the OKLMA network have not been the best in realtime, losing one or two stations can affect the overall flash rates, so ignore the pulsing of the activity as this is an artifact of detection efficiency.


4 panel of the different color tables available to the forecasters.  Each one highlights different aspects from peak intensity to gradients and growth.  The top left is the default available to the forecasters in AWIPS.

Animation of the same 4 panel as above.


SRSOR visible with default pGLM color table at 30% transparency.  Each have a 1 min update.
SRSOR with optional colortable (top right from 4 panel above) also with 30% transparency.
