These are the scripts shown at the St Cloud Storm Chasing conference. Scripts to generate GRLevel3 placefiles from text data will be coming, hopefully by March 1, 2010 after I get some sleep.

Why no Google Earth KML files? Google Earth can't save animations unless you pay $400 a year. Enough said.

Scripts to create GRLevel3 placefiles from SRRS and GPS data:
All scripts are designed to run on Unix through perl. You should be able to get them to work on any platform as long as perl and it's needed modules are installed. Some scripts require access to a MySQL database.
