PLANNED CHANGES TO WEATHERBOX. THESE WILL BE SPREAD OUT AMONG MANY MONTHS OF UPDATES
* This is a tentative list of products and features we plan on adding to WeatherBox.
* As a subscriber, you will receive updates automatically.
* We plan on having monthly updates.
*** FEATURES ***
- Enable "Time Machine". This will allow the user to go back in time, reloading all the data you normally see in real-time. Users will be able to pick a date and time, and WeatherBox will update
as if you were there! Will likely allow for 2X, 4X, 8X updating speed.
- Add GPS functionality. Plot location over any image.
- Add the web publishing (FTP) feature to upload screenshots to personal website.
- Multi-Panel support.
- Overhaul the image display code to have more responsive and smooth zooming.
*** RADAR ***
- Remaining Level III radar products will be added (Storm Precip, Composite Refl, More Tilts, Echo Tops...)
- Enable user to create a short list of "Pre loaded" local radars that can be pre-downloaded in the background so
when they are chosen, the data is immediately there.
- Add AK, HI, PR, GU.
*** SATELLITE ***
- Add GOES E and GOES W IR and WV (in addition to existing North American view)
- Add Alaska and Hawaii view.
- Add Tropical Atlantic satellite view.
*** MODEL DATA ***
- RAP, NAM, GFS model output will become available to subscribers.
- Our goal is to have output processed faster than any other source.
- Many unique model field combinations will be available.
*** TOOLS ***
- Make an extrapolation tool.
- Place marker where rainaware is being run (crosshairs)
*** MISC ***
- Let user decide threshold for when to show hail icon.
- Allow changing of local rad color tables.
- Add a panning acceleration setting (2 for 1 movement of screen pixels vs cursor pixels).
- Window Resize: Allow grabbing of any edge, not just bottom right corner.
- Pan image with left right up down arrow keys.
- Place your own logo onto graphic
- Tag image as bad frame
