Sherrie Fredrick and Jay Miller continued to support the CEDRIC (Custom Editing and Display of Reduced Information in Cartesian space) software system that is used for the analysis of regularly gridded datasets from both numerical models and observational systems. Miller provided overall guidance regarding scientific needs and support to users of the MMM-developed software system for data analysis. These software packages continue to be used heavily by both domestic and foreign researchers at universities and government agencies.

Fredrick modified the CEDRIC source code to import WRF-model output data. These modifications include the calculation of several diagnostic variables from model output fields, as well as regridding from the staggered grid to a regularly-spaced one. De-staggering is done in order to facilitate the comparison of model-generated and observed data fields.
