Automated Data Plotter

This application dynamically generates many types of graphs. These graphs are derived from processing of various data sources done by the IEM. Please feel free to use these generated graphics in whatever way you wish. Reset App. The IEM Explorer application offers a simplified frontend to some of these autoplots.

Plot Description:

Based on available hourly or better observations, the IEM computes local calendar day statistics for variables like relative humidity, dew point, and feels like (read: windchill or heat index) temperature. This autoplot computes a simple climatology of these values with a smoothing to remove some of the day to day variability.

Note that the observations plotted can fall outside of the smoothed range of values, as the smoothing is applied to the climatology and not the individual observations.

Based on a sampling of recent timings for this application, plot generation time has averaged 3 seconds. Hold on for the plot is generating now!
