Mumble, mumble...hello? I think I must be having a conversation with myself! ....

If anyone is interested, I am still in the middle of several experiments, but I have a few early observations: 1) modifying the .mis files does have some effect. For instance, it will take your initial settings for cloud cover, precip, fog, and wind. 2) Not sure if changes to the xxxRand= do anything, still checking.

3) Changes to the WeatherRndInterval= setting seems to have little effect on the rate of change for the clouds, rain, and fog settings. Has its biggest effect on the wind direction but not the wind speed. Even with WeatherRndInterval=2, one of my patrols had almost 4 1/2 consecutive days of 15m/sec wind. However, the wind direction changed constantly! 4) Trying to conduct weather experiments in 1942 is a bad idea! Constantly diving to avoid air attacks. My next experiments will be in 1939 only!

My next step is to set WindRand=0 and see what effect that has...
