Map view layer: Weather observations

REQUIREMENTS
Permission	All users
Connectivity	Online only

This document describes the functionality of the Weather Sites layer of the Map view of the InfoEx report.

The goal of the Weather Sites map layer is to provide users with a spatial overview of all the weather observations submitted to the InfoEx in the time period of the current report.

Layout

Fig. 2: Detail of weather observation shown in map view of InfoEx report.

The weather sites map layer shows the point locations of all the weather observations included in the current report (Fig. 1).

The currently supported weather parameters are (Fig. 2):

Tmin	Blue label	Lowest minimum temperature recorded at weather sites by this operation during the time period of report.
Tmax	Red label	Highest maximum temperature recorded at weather sites by this operation during the time period of report.
WX Label	White label	Name and elevation of weather site.

Functionality

• Click on a main trigger type in the layer hierarchy panel to directly zoom the map to the area that has avalanche observations of the particular trigger type.
• Click on the check box next to the main trigger types in the layer hierarchy panel to show/hide the avalanche observations of the particular trigger type.
• Click on the icon of an individual avalanche observation to view its complete record in a pop-up balloon (Fig. 2). The pop-up balloon contains all of the information that was submitted for the observation including links to any associated attachments.
