'Eye on the Temperature' a Flex Application to display CentralEngland Temperatures
 

Hi

It's a while since I announced any meteorological software that I've
written on this news group but I think you might be interested in the
following Flex application that I have developed to display Central
England Temperatures both in graphs and in tabular form. It's still a
beta but very usable, there may well be some small discrepancies in
the averages that I calculate because I decided to do the maths in the
application rather than download the values and I . You can find the
application at:

http://www.synop.co.uk/Eye on the Temperature/Main.html

There is a 'Spells Graph' (excuse the name I didn't know what to call
it) that displays accumulated anomalies - clicking the toolbar button
with a 'graph' icon will open it. A good example would be the year
1947 and see the extreme winter and when it started - you can use your
mouse's roller wheel to scroll through the years.

Bruce.

PS Before someone notices that December 1786 is flat lined at 2.8°C -
it's not the application it's the data - it may well be because the
Met Office just didn't have the spread of sites for that month!

Using gaps in the URL doesn't seem to be a good idea. It stops being
recognised as a hyperlink as soon as a space is found. Dunno whether this
will make any difference:

Made a difference alright but not quite what was required!

Let's try typing the spaces instead of pasting:

You need to use %20 instead of a space.

Very nice! Would it be possible to make the daily red and blue circles
on the monthly and seasonal graphs a bit smaller, as at present they
rather tend to obscure the mean line and indeed each other?

That sounds plausible, since there was only enough information for the
daily version of the series from 1772, not that many years earlier.

The %20 for a space will work (as of course will copy and paste into the
Web browser), but perhaps this will produce a clickable link for me and
Graham (those using other news clients may not have the problem):

Having now played with it a bit, it really is very nice indeed. The run
of blue in the yearly table showing negative anomalies for all but a
handful of years from 1659-1726 really is very striking.

One apparent bug:

If you click on a different season than Winter above the table, the
heading on the top two graphs change appropriately but the contents
remain those for January and Winter! Similarly if you click on a
different Month.

That still doesn't work. I think Bruce should replace the spaces in the URL
with hyphens or underscores.
