Walt so where do you get the PBL height graphics with the altitudes in feet? The HRRR site I only see altitudes in meters.


Using Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer IDV and the gridded files from NWS, it's easy. Just use a pull down menu to change units from m to ft. Also, the gridded files for pbl height are in meters agl. One has to find the model grid and add that in for msl values. Learning how to use IDV and do all this takes a bit of time.

Learning required? ok nevermind ;-) I'm done learning for the foreseeable future = a week or so.
