一个程序调用点图形例程为目的的可视化输出网格的气象数据集，主要由中尺度数值模式。它最初是设计用于sigma-coordinate-level输出从电源点（网格/ MM 5中尺度模式）-RIP (which stands for Read/Interpolate/Plot) is a Fortran program that invokes NCAR Graphics routines for the purpose of visualizing output from gridded meteorological data sets, primarily from mesoscale numerical models. It was originally designed for sigma-coordinate-level output from the PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM4/MM5),
