TRACK filter

The "trackfilter" collects the data from the NHC bulletins and plots the tracks and forecasts of each hurricane. It is enabled by setting

  set feature(trackfilter) 1

in the "features.conf" file. It uses GrADS to draw the plot and therefore that package must have been installed. If GrADS is not installed, the plot can be disabled by setting

  set trackfilter(grads_enable)        0;

in "trackfilter.conf". In those case the filter only collects the data and saves in the data files in the "/var/npemwin/data/track" directory that can be used with other programs if desired.

The data and the plots are accesible from the web interface.

Packages for Grads are avalable in the noaaport.net site.
