Thanks, Tim! Gee and I thought my big accomplishment was an in-place
upgrade from XP to Win 7 without screwing up my logging program and
reinstalling all my applications!
Seriously, though, now comes the *real* work: using all those
observations to make something useful! These data are only the tip of
the proverbial iceberg because we have lots of numerical model
analysis fields to process and even more radar data to process. It
adds up to terabytes of data altogether. And NPR said they'd check on
our progress in a year, so the pressure's on!
Thanks again for all the kudos!
73,
Kim N5OP
