I was working on a new set of radar velocity color tables.... something I didn't think others here would care to hear about much... but I got what I was wanting, for what that's worth.
But for what it's worth... Here's what I worked on in as short of a nutshell as I can put it...
First... the lower wind velocities below about 10-15mph are a graduated muted gray/green or gray/red... from that up to 40mph they are a more dense color ( less gray ). At EF0 velocities ( between 65-85 mph ) they are a brighter red/green, then each EF number up from that have their own graduated color all the way up to 300 mph ( the theoretical wind speed limit of a tornado ). This scaling of the colors helps to quickly identify the speed of the winds at the height of the radar beam ( it's never the same as what's on the ground btw )...
Here is what the El Reno Tornado of May 31st 2013 would have looked like using the Base Velocity color table ( I also made a Storm Relative Velocity but it's the same color scale only the wind speeds are adjusted for the approximate speed of the storm and direction it's going in vs where the radar site is located ). Here the red colors ( the positive numbered ones ) are going away from the radar site... the green ( and other negative ones ) are winds going towards the radar site.
The tornado location in this example is just SE of El Reno where the denser, brighter red/green and other colors are located.
Interesting read there, RDS. Could you watch a map like that live as a tornado was in the area?

That is the program's primary use... live. In bad weather, it updates every 2-5 minutes depending on which mode the radar site is in... in clear air mode it can be over 10 minutes but can pick up the movement of fronts or even birds and insects etc.
Here is something I think is very cool...
Mike Olbinski, one of the AZ storm chasers/photographer's that I've shared several of his time lapse movies here on ECF... tonight won a Emmy Award for one of his works...
I do occasionally email and chat with him and back in June, he started using several of the radar color tables I created for use while he's chasing. While I've never met the man, I do consider him an online friend, he has always been nice to myself and others that correspond with him answering any questions or just chatting with everyone. He is certainly deserving of the award.
