Animating Sirius™ weather graphics
The NSS records the weather information you have turned on, and this information can be
used to animate past or future weather conditions. The amount of information available in the
system depends on the amount of weather activity,- the more complex it is the less time will
be available for animation.
You can animate the past or the future depending on which weather view you have turned
on:
• if the precipitation overlay was turned on, you can animate for the past and only assume
weather conditions in the immediate future.
• if the colored wave height overlay was turned on, you can animate the future (the
predictions)
When activated the time for the current graphic animation will be displayed in the lower left
corner of the chart panel.
