  • New Dynamic Time Window/Animation
    • Animation now supported directly in the Map Window
    • Improved controls over Dynamic Time Window
    • Faster processing of Animation and Dynamic Time Window images
  • Point Time Series Sampling
    • Maps with points can now be used to generate time series
  • Time Series Plots
    • Pop-out plots available for point and ad-hoc polygons

Minor changes

  • HMR55a Plugin enabled by default
  • Changed default polygon line simplification from 1% to .1% for more area computation accuracy
  • Adding the ability to convert from precipitation rate to precipitation depth in NcGribExtractor
  • Allowing Radar Calibration to specify DssDataTypes other than PER-CUM on difference grids
  • Allowed Save Time Series tool to write units in lower case. It was previously forcing units to upper case.
  • Added support for kg/m^2 units for meteorological variables (assumes mm)
  • Added support for Mercator projection in NetCDF/GRIB files
  • Added support for rotated pole coordinate systme in NetCDF/GRIB files
  • Allowed status bar to show latitude and longitude when no TIN is loaded
  • Shortcut to the metvue.exe added to the root directory in the metvue distribution package
  • Cleaned up triangulation and multi-threading code to ensure consistent HMR52 computes
  • Prevented XMRG data from being shifted up and to the right by a half cell
  • Allowed ASCII grid sidecar files to be overwritten on subsequent saves
  • Changed labeling of "Map Panel" to "Map Window"
  • Reorganized Map Window context menu items
  • When creating polygon average time series, time-steps with missing data are now missing values instead of zeros
