Subject: Soliciting Comments through May 31, 2013, on
an
Experimental National Digital
Forecast Database Map
Viewer
NWS is accepting
comments through May 31, 2013, on an
experimental National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD)
map viewer
online at:
http://preview.weather.gov/graphical/
Partners and
users may view NDFD information for both the CONUS
(experimental 2.5 km grid resolution) and OCONUS (current
operational grid resolution) by using the drop down
menu.
This proposed map
viewer is in response to numerous comments and
suggestions for more efficient and effective data
display and
interaction. The
proposed map viewer takes advantage of the
capabilities of modern web browsers and enables users to
interactively zoom and roam NDFD forecast grids.
Static images of
NDFD grids at current operational resolution
will remain available at:
NWS partners and
users are encouraged to provide feedback via a
comment link at the top of the experimental NDFD map
viewer or
directly at:
http://www.weather.gov/survey/nws-survey.php?code=wxmap
Further
information regarding this experimental map viewer is
