WXSIM Description

WXSIM is a very unique software package - over 20 years in the making - for modeling, forecasting, or simply studying weather. It is perhaps best described as an "interactive local atmospheric model". You initialize it with current data, some optionally downloaded from the internet, and then "turn it loose" to model the weather for the next few days, but with the option to interact with the program and mix in some of your own forecasting skill and knowledge. Main features: Conversions among temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wet bulb temperature, vapor pressure, and mixing ratio. Calculations of heat index and wind chill. Sunrise and sunset times and sunrise azimuth for any point on earth any day of the year. Sun altitude and azimuth at any time and date for any point on earth. Solar irradiance and UV index, as functions of time, place, cloud cover, haze, and fog. Approximate normal temperature and dew point for any point on earth on any day of the year. Display and limited analysis of imported and interoplated RAOB soundings (TTAA data only). Graphical display (with printout option) of imported and interpolated NGM and Eta FOUS forecast data, including the option of weighted averaging of the two.
