I have not seen a single instance of wind barbs or wind vectors plotting in AWIPS II CAVE ever since I installed it last week and experimented with it. An example, I choose the following: Models > NAM 40 km > Sfc Temperature and Wind Valid fields appear for temperature and isobars in the D2D window, but no wind data ever appears. The legend stack does list a row for wind (NAM 10FHA6 Wind Arrows), but this wind information does not actually show in the map window. Clicking the legend entry seems to turn the field on and off by changing the legend color from white to gray and back, but the wind data does not appear in the map window. Changing the color by right-clicking the legend row for wind does nothing. Also I have not ever been able to get any thickness plots to display from any model. Example: Models > CMC > Thickness / Vorticity Advection As with wind plots, a row appears "CMC 1000-500 mb height" but no information appears and clicking it does nothing. Also the legend indicates a "1000-500 mb wind" field and it does not display either. Only the vorticity field shows. Also METAR plots do not work, but I saw in a previous mailing list entry from May 13 2016 that this was not working. Version information: I can't find the version in the help menu, but it was downloaded on November 1 from the UCAR server. Data source is http://edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu:9581/services. Tim Vasquez
