One of the discussion points that has come up about the Merged AzShear product is monitoring the trends of the AzShear as storms progress. One way to do this that is built into AWIPS is the Tracking Meteogram tool. The following are a  GIF and PNG for a MCV just off of the MOB CWA. The radar image is above. The GIF shows the tracking tool and AzShear and then the plot showing the trends. In this case you can see general increase in AzShear values. There are some limitations of the Tracking Meteogram took like only being able to track one feature at a time, there is a lot of things to edit and modify with the Meteogram (the position and size of the tracking area), and this would not be an easy tool to modify and update while trying to focus on other warnings.
