Digi. Cora III Software Version 3. 64

Digi. CORA III : 1. STANDARD SOFTWARE. 2. METGRAPH

Digi. CORA III : STANDARD SOFTWARE

Digi. CORA III : STANDARD SOFTWARE 1. STANDARD SOFTWARE The Digi. CORA III Sounding software provides all the functionality of a standard sounding system. It collects, analyses, stores and presents the sounding data on air pressure, temperature, humidity and wind.

Digi. CORA III : METGRAPH

Digi. CORA III : METGRAPH 2. METGRAPH The following standard displays are included. 2. 1. METGRAPH The basic METGRAPH display includes single or multiple graph of temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and wind components. Significant piont can be set automatically and manually. If the significant point is used, meteorological messages are generated according to the significant point modified by user.

Digi. CORA III : METGRAPH 2. 2. TEPHIGRAM The Tephigram display is a thermodynamic diagram used for strict thermodynamic calculations. Its large angle between the isotherms abd dry adiabats make it very effective for assessing degrees of stability.

Digi. CORA III : METGRAPH 2. 3. HODOGRAPH The Hodograph display is a diagram used for observing wind shear condition. Wind speed and direction as a function of height is plotted on a polar diagram, resulting in a graph that traces the vertical wind shear of the invervening layers.

Digi. Cora III : Flight Termination There are two ways to end the sounding observation : 1. Automatic Termination 2. Manual Termination

Digi. Cora III : Automatic Termination System Status

Digi. Cora III : System Status Automatic Termination 1 3 2 4

Digi. Cora III : System Status Manual Termination A sounding con be stopped manually at any time by doing the following : Click the Cmd button on the Control pane, then the window will popup. 1 3 2

Digi. Cora III : SYSTEM STATUS

Digi. Cora III : Simulation Status Pane The Simulation Status pane is located in the upper right hand corner. The panel is only visible during simulations, when it replaces the Hardware Status pane. “ +” button : “ –” button : “ N” button : “II” button : Increases speed simulation. Decreases speed simulation. Normal speed simulation. Pauses the simulation

Digi. Cora III : Hardware Status pane is used to show the overall status of Vaisala sounding processors. Red light : Indicates serious hardware failure. Flashing yellow light : Indicates special hardware activity, such as startup tests, I/O or wait states. Green light : Indicates that the hardware is running. Green light may be lit simultaneously with red light, which can be caused by a misplaced cable.

Digi. Cora III : The PTU Status pane consists of : 1. The telemetry quality indicator 2. The current Pressure (P), Temperature (T) and Humidity (U) values. PTU Status

Digi. Cora III: The RDF status contains : 1. Azimuth and elevation (Mechanical and Phase) 2. Tilt (N/S or front/back, E/W or left/right) 3. Mode (Manual or Automatic). RDF Status
