Time Cross-Section Depicting Forecast and Observed Weather

The amount and types of forecast guidance having considerable skill and available to field forecasters have been increasing rapidly in recent years. This creates a problem of how to display (or preprocess) the many bits of information so that they can be integrated quickly and effectively by forecasters. Also, with the team concept of producing forecasts at our new WSFOs, it is most desirable to have an effective method of displaying the team's final meteorological forecast from which most, if not all, of the user products can be composed.
