You know, for what it's worth, I usually take the new generation of "power forecasting" units used by the tv channels with a grain of salt. Names like VIPIR, VORTEX, and TITAN are cute and well chosen names meant to evoke certain psychological reactions in viewers, no doubt.





Just for general information, VIPIR is an acronym that stands for Volumetric Imaging and Processing of Integrated Radar...it was designed initally (and my work on it was) as a radar analysis tool...it has evolved into much more than that. It is a product of Baron Services, Inc, in Huntsville, AL.
