How do weather services get sky conditions above the surface?
BTW, if anyone else would like to weigh in with a serious answer, I
would appreciate it. I can sort of see how they could use radar to determine clound coverage, but the winds aloft thing is really puzzling me. Take a look at http://www.navmonster.com/wx/KCDW-25; just one Pirep (which does not even include winds aloft) but they have winds aloft for various altitudes. |

Do they depend on PIREPs, or expendable/recoverable probes and balloons, or satellites, or what? I would a55ume that they have planes in the air at some point and the aircraft report the ceiling height of teh clouds and then they estimate windspeed from observaton stations on the ground. I'm just guessing. I knew a weather observer once. -- "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities" - Voltaire |

When I came back most of the posts I saw were MX, followed by bertie, followed by Max, followed by bertie - max - bertie - max - - - - - I'm trying to figure out how to set up my own nntp server, with my own rules. Once I've got it up and running the way I want, I'll publish the address. Here's a preview: You'll never see a post by MX, Bertie, or Max, nor will you ever see a response to them. You'll also never see a post by a spammer, unless a known poster decides to spam, or if I decide it's not really spam. |

It's a lot of work, but, less work than managing an nntp server. Most people don't like moderated forums but, believe me, at this point there are plenty of people here who would give it a try. The PHP-based forums that Dudley et al moved to are immensely useful as well,but they're a little more time-consuming to read everything. |

The thing is, the "dismantling" is done by the people that with respond to him with such classy comments as "you are poor, and have no life," not by Msmanix himself. I have been lurking for quite a while now, and rarely do I see his posts warrant the responses he gets. Which is a goal of trolls. -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |
