Thanks Tim for the info of the Velocity Tensor Magnitude. I use the Mesoanalysis page but there are so many options, I never get to them all and I didn't know what this one meant. Now I will use it! Makes everything more interesting and fun! I wish I had more time to really utilize this page.

[@ForecastLab]

Yeah, I was thinking about going through some of the products there when we finally do go live, maybe while waiting for storms to develop.

Tim. as a private pilot I wonder if when you say a system is active at lets say 9000 feet am I correct assuming the weather is happening at 9000 above ground level?

[@ForecastLab]

Not sure I understand the question... normally I work in MSL (mean sea level) unless I'm referencing a locally reported cloud base height, or inflow/cloud base/LCL heights around a storm, then it's AGL.
