  1. Interesting as ever, Simon… Can an amateur get the satellite charts and geopotential isopleth forecasts?
    In any event, Happy New Year to all at Weatherweb!

  2. Just a postscript to say thanks again…. There’s certainly enough case studies there to fill your boots! I haven’t found any of the charts that you were using, but I’m sure what’s there will be very useful will be very useful.
    Regards.

  3. At the risk of being a pain in the neck, I wondered if you could be a bit more specific where Eumetrain is concerned? The site is very large and complex, and I really was hoping to find those upper air maps with the contours superimposed, the ones that you used in your video. Having looked over the site several times, I’ve so far not caught up the charts you were demonstrating. If you are able to point me towards the exact link, I’d be grateful, if not, I appreciate you have many deadlines to meet. In any event, thanks for your efforts. Regards.

  4. Simon, thank you so much! There’s certainly plenty to keep me busy there for a few hours 🙂 I first became interested in weather in my early teens, and I’m in my mid-sixties now. One of the great things about meteorology is that there’s always something new to learn. I buy endless amounts of text books to keep me up to date, but sadly, some of, no most of, the calculus is beyond me. That doesn’t stop me though, and my flat is full of weather maps, skew-t’s and other bits and pieces, all connected with weather. I even have a barogram and an old Precision barometer, originally part of the Royal Observatory in Hong Kong!. I’ve even had it calibrated! It certainly keeps me off the streets. Keep the good stuff coming, Simon. It helps to keep me sane. Thanks again, Dave.

    1. Fantastic David, pleased you found the site and have used it. I’m similar to you in that my interest was sparked as a boy. Same here with the text books; don;t be too frightened of the maths, most of it is easy to break down once you have been shown how too; problem I find is that if you (like me) didn’t do much maths at school, making that leap is a big one. There’s a free book which is actually intended for pilots published by a company called Padpilot. Have a search for it and download it, you might find it useful as it goes through maths from the basics and should help you.
      Would love to see a picture of the barograph and precision barometer (I have one of those as well…rescued!).
      I’m a weather nerd at heart and find it hard to call myself a ‘professional’….proud amateur fits better! 🙂

  5. Thanks again, Simon! I will see if I can find the book by Padpilot. In the meantime, I’ve sent you a couple of photos of the Barograph and the Precision Barometer. I hope you can open them (sent to your weatherweb email address). If you can’t open them, let me know, and I’ll scratch my head to think of another way to send them.
    I’ve missed the 18Z download tonight, but to be honest, I could do with a rest.
    Keeping the sun shining,
    Dave.
