AREA MAP (14 of 16)

STORM CONTROL

This toolbar is selectable from the Map Toolbar and allows you to control and modify the storm models.

SELECT Displays the STORM SELECT keypad which shows the available storm models pictorially and dimensionally. When a storm is first selected, it is inactive and is displayed in outline form in its default position on the Map display, but it will not be shown on the weather radar display.

NOTE: It may be necessary to change the map range to make the storm visible.

STATUS Activates/deactivates the selected storm model. When a storm is activated, the complete image is displayed on the Map display and the storm is shown on the weather radar display.

If the storm characteristics (position, rotation and drift) are changed, the button legend shows MODIFIED. Selecting the button activates the modified storm.

POSITION Displays a white square frame (at the centre of the storm model) and the STORM POSITION keypad.

Move the white square frame and use the keypad to select a position for the storm.

ROTATION Displays a white circle with a projecting arrow (at the centre of the storm model) and the STORM ROTATION keypad.

Move the arrow round the circle to set the storm rotation and confirm the selection using the keypad.
