Nope, I prefer the view from the satellite. You can see trends developing from a long way off and the camera never has water on the lens. Also Infrared data continues after sunset so you can critique your forecast when you get back home later that night. The water vapor fills in the cirrus clouding that Infrared doesn't quite pick up. I also use the 4k and 2k animations, which have much higher resolution. I don't like handing people a stack of URL's, it's like handing them a running chain saw and sort of implies that they really want it and actually know what to do with it. The U of Wyo site is a good example. First hurdle is the soundings are listed in Zulu time, which is military for UTC. Many people can't (or won't learn to) translate that into local time. Next you need to know that the inversion isn't there at sunset but quickly develops during prime evening viewing time. The data for inversion is best seen at 12z or the morning sounding, which may be a couple of mouse clicks away before you click on the map for the SLC station. Next hurdle: The data page is just a white background with numbers on it. No dancing Gecko no animated Spiderman ads, no eye candy, just data. Next hurdle: the elevation is in meters, the temperatures are in Celsius, and the numbers go down the page as the data goes up in the sky, most unfriendly. So I know the meters to feet is divide by three and multiply by ten, and I can do a rough translation from C to F as 0 is 30, 5 is 40, 10 is 50, 15 is 60, etc but by this time most of Generation X has gone into "whatever" mode and surfed away. I guess I would rather just leave a trail of breadcrumbs and let the really hungry ones follow it. Or not. DT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
