Real-time ECONet Data Assimilation is now incorporated into the model anaysis. This should greatly improve the model's initial fields. All available ASOS/AWOS/ship/buoy/ and the NC Climate Office's own AgNet station network are assimilated. This is the only numerical model to use the entire ECONET database for real-time environmental modeling.

The animating option has been updated.
