- Sole contributor in full cycle development of graphically oriented grid-to-zone weighting program (MOD WGTS) for the National Weather Service’s Interactive Computer Worded Forecast (ICWF) system to assist meteorologist in automated forecasting. The application displays maps and allows users to select zones (county-like areas) enabling users to edit a numeric grid that corresponds to the selected zone. When a zone is selected, the corresponding distinct numeric grid is superimposed over the current map and the user may increment and decrement the weights for any of that zone’s grid points. Technologies used on this project include C, Motif, Embedded SQL, UIM/X and X-Windows.
- Sole contributor in full cycle development of graphically oriented zone selection program (ZONE) for the National Weather Service’s Interactive Computer Worded Forecast (ICWF) system to assist meteorologist in automated forecasting. The application enables users to select one or more zones from maps they load. Technologies used on this project include C, Motif, Embedded SQL, UIM/X and X-Windows.
- Sole contributor in full cycle development of graphically oriented geographic area designation program (GPIK) for the National Weather Service’s Interactive Computer Worded Forecast (ICWF) system to assist meteorologist in automated forecasting. The application enables users to select and save rectangular areas from a map of the USA. Once an area is selected, users may zoom in and make additional adjustments. Technologies used on this project include C, Motif, Embedded SQL, UIM/X and X-Windows.
