WindNinja 2.0.3 Release

Hello WindNinja users. We are releasing what should be our final maintenance release of WindNinja 2.0. This release fixes a couple of bugs that we ran into in the past month or so. Some users were having issues with old style *.prj files when used with landscape files. This has been addressed, and should work with both old and new style *.prj files. The other was the fact that WindNinja really didn't like to run in the Southern Hemisphere. That has been addressed as well and is working fine for the south half of the globe. Not many enhancements to report for 2.0.3; Kyle is in the process of having WindNinja save some of the settings on exit so they are restored when it is opened again.

WindNinja 2.1 is on the horizon, and we are working on a few exciting things for the model, including:

1. Coarse Scale Weather Model Initialization: WindNinja will download a forecast for your DEM area and do several runs based on forecasts from various sources
2. Point Initialization: WindNinja will allow a user to select a point on the domain where a wind speed and direction are known ( a weather station or personal observation ). WindNinja will then do its best to match that point's wind speed and direction.

That is it for now, thank you for using WindNinja. As always, email us with any questions

Jason and Kyle
