2. At the top of the image, note 'Comparer avec': you can now
instantly compare various models at the same VT just by 'drifting' the
cursor (i.e. not clicking) over the appropriate name.


Martin,

For what it's worth I have been working with the wizards at
weatheronline to create something similar, viz:

http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-b...s&modeladd=cmc

The click-boxes allow you to compare the models of your choosing, and
the numbers from 0-384 allow you compare the models - where available.

The main reasoning for doing this is that it aids "model-watching" -
but the drop down that says "Base" allows you to access the previous 6
days' forecast data to see how each of the models have forecasted the
current situation. e.g. for 12Z today (Saturday) you could go to Tues,
12Z GMT on the Base drop-down and pick 96 and see how the models
compare out to 12Z today.

Cheers,
Richard
