Does any one have knowledge of web sites that actually shows hurricane
model forecast tracks? I have seen them in the past but they just keep
disappearing from the net.

I am a student in meteorology and I am working on an atmospheric particle
system where physical quantities like wind velocity or diffusion
coefficient are specified on points in a cubic 3D grid. I use trilinear
interpolation to get the value of the fields at the particle position. ...

Apologies if this is the wrong group for this type of query. A friend
observed this strange light in the evening sky (in the UK)and would
like to know what it was - it wasn't the sun which was further over

Interesting arithmetic in the climate summary for Seattle from May 8...
How do they arrive at a +1 degree departure from normal?  What is the
rounding method used that makes (61+48)/2 = 55 while (63+46)/2 = 54?
..or (-2) + 2 = 1?

During the last month, Steve Schulin cut and posted a piece
that tried made a whopping big deal about a portion of a
graph in the IPCC report so small that the author had to
magnify it.  Steve is actually convinced that this debunks GW.
