Temperature and pressure contours created in ArcInfo from FNMOC gridded data. Shapefile can be used as a layer in
chart production.
•Data is received from FNMOC in GRIB, cut into N and S Hemispheres
•Registered in TeraScan and Sent to ArcInfo with a header•Re-projected to Polar Stereographic•Contours produced
*Automated process is command line driven
