 early season rains April 2012: jet streak, vertical velocity, 200 and 850hPa wind vectors, total precipitable water, 500hPa positive temperature advection, and TRMM precipitation
Do you spend 90% of your time trying to code and only 10% doing real science? I used to also before embracing the IDV! Now I spend 100% of my time doing real science and 0% banging my head on a command line terminal. Thank you IDV!
