Use the Storm Cell ComboBox to select which preconfigured storm cell to activate. The storm cell options are labeled with each storm cell's name, and in parenthesis: storm length in nautical miles, storm width in nautical miles, storm base in ft agl, and storm top in ft agl. The storm cell options are ordered from lowest storm top to highest storm top.

Use the Select PushButton to activate the currently selected storm cell. Once the storm cell is activated, the storm cell parameters in the Change Storm Cell Configuration GroupBox will update to show the active storm cell's parameters.
