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?
SuperTyphoon Angela--November, 1995
Don't forget other Weather Machines , Computer Models and the Weather Channel for further info on severe weather!
Mesoscale Discussion Severe Weather Watch Status Report
Bahamas Marine Forecast
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! If you need information on reading surface charts, go Here .

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.
GOES 8 (Wide coverage across N. America into the Atlantic)
GOES 10 (West coast, central & east Pacific)
The Weather Channel- An impressive collection of of low resolution images, many from unique locations around the world. Not so good for printing, but great for viewing because of the pleasant contrast between the ocean, land, and enhanced cloud tops.
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!
