Hello,

We are in charge of a french paragliding website
(http://thermiquefrancilien.org) and we intend to provide flight index
services.

We had developed such a interesting tool which were mostly appreciated
in a recent past.

Obviously, since the page http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/cmet.html asks
a manually entered code, our automated script does not work any more.

So, we are looking for forecasts meteogram text data files for many
points in Europe (Winds dir & force at different levels (soundings),
Precips 6 hours, Cloud Cover...).

We know that http://www.windguru.cz/ uses such datas from NOAA but
were unable to know where the exact source is.

Where are not metereogists but parpentists and web developpers.

Since there are few months we are looking for a solution for our net
surfers, some help from specialists is needed and should be mostly
appreciated.

Sincerely Yours,

I haven't an answer, but I will point out that the word
(should be) is meteorogram. Just as in meteorology, the
r is surrounded by o.

I've used the word "meteogram" for a few decades and have not heard
"meteorogram" until now. That's not to say the latter is not the right
version but I get 68,800 results for the former in Google but only 608
for the latter. "Metgram" gets a paltry 106.

The only time someone tried to correct my spelling of this word, they
tried to persuade me that it should be "meteograph", but this person may
have been confused with "meteorograph" - an instrument for automatically
recording several meteorological parameters.

Meteorogram is in the Glossary of Meteorology, and
meteogram is not. That said, my version of the Glossary
predates www. It's my understanding that a popular
software package mis-named the plot of meteorological
variables with time, eliding the 'ro'. And the rest
is unfortunate history
