  10. Save sequences of images • Right click on an image and “Save Image As” • Save multiple images to animate later • Surface Analysis Example

  11. Using GRLevel3 • Meant for radar, but makes a decent GIS mapper • Uses “Placefiles” to overlay data on the radar

  12. Using GRLevel3 • Live data is abundant, but archive is nonexistent • http://grlevel3.tornadocentral.com

  13. Making placefiles • Look at existing placefiles • Format: http://www.grlevelx.com/manuals/gis/files_places.htm
