This paricular collection contains namelist.input, cape.zip, radar.zip, precip.zip, surface.zip, updraft_helicity.zip, vorticity.zip, xsec.zip, and wrfout_d01_2010-05-02_13_00_00.nc.namelist is configuration file of WRF. cape is short for Convective Available Potential Energy, a measure of the instability in an air mass. cape.zip is the visualization of cape and contains 24 png files. radar is Mix of radar minimum and radar maximum visualizations. radar.zip represents the mixed results of putting those two radar types together. radar.zip is the visualization of vorticity and contains 28 png files. precip is short for Precipitation, the sum of the rain, snow and hail in given in liquid equivalent depth. precip.zip is the visualization of precip and contains 4 png files. surface is meteorological parameters on the earth's surface, or in a model on the first level above the ground. surface.zip is the visualization of surface and contains 16 png files. updraft_helicity is the dot product of the vertical velocity and the vertical vorticity. It is presented as a summation over a 3-km depth. updraft_helicity.zip is the visualization of updraft_helicity and contains 16 png files. vorticity is the localized rotation of the air. In model plots it is often the vertical component of vorticity, the rotation of the horizontal winds. vorticity.zip is the visualization of vorticity and contains 16 png files. xsec is is the cross section. xsec.zip is the visualization of xsec and contains 51 png files. wrfout_d01_2010-05-02_13_00_00 is computational result of WRF.
