Welcome! It is 2:06:16 PM on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 . This page

Main Street Weather(Weather Home Base!!)
Here is a collection of the weather links I visit on a daily basis,
some more than others depending upon the weather situation and
time of year. I use these sites in my teaching and to fulfill
my insatiable appetite for the weather. There are a wide variety
of sources ranging from the best weather machines to regional
weather, FAX, radar, single frame satellite imagery, computer
model forecasts, hurricanes, typhoons, MPEG movies (visible, infrared
& water vapor) and buoy data from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf
of Mexico. Just what did weather fanatics do for fun before the
invention of the internet?

FAX charts
are remarkable in their clarity and diversity and make up the Bulk of the
Western "Weather Wall" here at Miami University. While many weather
machines provide more colorful maps & charts, FAX charts are Excellent
for Display, Especially When Using Black & White Printing. These
charts are in TIFF format and can be easily opened with Graphic
Converter . Most of the charts need to be rotated 90, 180, or 270 degrees
for Viewing!

General Thoughts: The Weather Channel provides an array of satellite
movies that can't be found anywhere else on the web. Besides being so geographically
diverse, the movies provide very impressive visual contrast with blue oceans,
brown landscapes and white clouds. The sat loops are animated gifs.

Hurricanes and Tropical Weather
Barograph Tracing, Hurricane Hugo, September 1989, St.
Croix. Each main vertical interval (west-east) represents six hours--the
pressure is in millibars. As Hugo bore down on the island, colleagues did
not think they would survive the night! The next morning, some described
the scene as what they would expect to see after a nuclear war. There was
not a leaf left on standing trees!
