Viewer Notes:
  • The right panel always contains DrJack's data - day loops are not synched between panels
  • The Blend feature works with IE4+ (and other browsers with image size 1000px only). It is time-adjustable from 0.5 to 2.0 sec and is designed to avoid flickering images. The minimum time depends on the internet connection speed and how fast one steps through the images for the first time.
  • Keys 1 & 2 cycle through the images timewise
  • Keys 4 & 5 cycle through the images daywise
  • Keys 7 & 8 cycle through the images parameterwise (if using keypad, make sure Num Lock is on)
  • 'day loop' images have to finish playing before a different image can be shown
  • The right image panel has next image preload but no blend feature
  • Due to process scheduling, there is no current day +3 forecast available until after 1100lst.
  • Best viewed with IE7 at 75% screen zoom
