Plots from the Metview exercises

The gallery below shows examples plots from all the practical exercises the participants were able to do with the Metview macros developed by Sandor Kertesz in ECMWF's forecast department.

Most of the plot types can be animated with Metview.

Probabilities

Two ensemble forecasts datasets were provided for the workshop. The 2012 operational ensemble and a reforecast using the operational ensemble of 2016.
