HELP

The User Interface consists of four main sections:

• Section1: a control panel on the left  (blue box in Figure 2) for the selection of the early warning forecast date and time (blue box in figure 2), the early warning forecast variable (red box in Figure 2) and the early warning indicators variable (green box in Figure 2). The section "Display" allows to choose the kind of visualization desired (orange box in Figure 2):  a) map ("Environmental fields"); b) plot ("Time series").   

• Section2: a map in the middle of the home page (Figure 1) where the outputs are shown. 

• Section3: a time-series at the bottom of the home page (Figure 1) where the outputs are shown
