We’ve been exploring the [mis]use of AWIPS II as a substitute for NAWIPS in our department hall display for radar/satellite and obs. The display is more than satisfactory for several hours especially with the use of both radar and satellite (as well as watches and warning) on the same display screen. But at the end of this grace period we are hitting a memory “rope limit” that results in a dialog box shown before. “This CAVE is nearing its maximum memory limit. Performance may degrade significantly 50MB available. Consider closing tabs, clearing panes or reducing the frame count to free up memory” (this happens with even modest frame counts). Can AWIPS automatically clear its cache of by-past images that are outside of the current data display window? I presume that this is how NAWIPS did this.
