I am looking for three things:
1. A text on meteorology. My maths is now good enough (first year university level approximately) to be able to start to make sense of it. 2. A text or source on how numerical forecasting works in meteorology. Although I have a reasonable science background, the transition from atmospheric circulation data to forecasts of circulation to those detailed forecasts we now get is mysterious to me. 3. Are there any good online graphic representations of what the atmosphere is doing, and particularly what the upper-level winds, such as the jet stream are doing? I have the MeteoEarth app, but it seems very limited to me. I can understand why people might not want such data too widely available. Thanks Trevor http://www.trevorharley.com/Weather.html |

Thanks Trevor http://www.trevorharley.com/Weather.html Hi Trevor, I strongly recommend the material available at Comet MetEd https://www.meted.ucar.edu You have to register but it's free. There's enough stuff there to keep you occupied for decades. It's a marvellous resource. -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. https://peakdistrictweather.org Twitter: @TideswellWeathr |

I have the MeteoEarth app, but it seems very limited to me. I can understand why people might not want such data too widely available. For the jet-stream, from the GFS forecasts the first snapshot is for T=0, and the charts available include the winds at 200, 300 and 500 mb. I'm not quite sure how high the jetsream is in terms of atmospheric pressure, but I imagine that one of those will cover it. -- John Hall "Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history."

Many thanks for those. Free is good.
