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:
http://graphical.weather.gov/
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
available in a Product Description Document online at:
