Allan and Attilla, I'm curious if either of you have things in the works that will show up in the CMC forecasts or the Clear Sky Clocks. I think your work has...
... Hi Steeve, On my side the answer is yes and no. Yes, because there will be major changes and no because it won't be transparent on the Clear Sky Clocks. I...
... Hi Steve, Allan has already replied that he will soon release higher resolution forecasts models. (Sound of hands rubbing in glee!) Mark Casazza, tells me...
Hi Over here in Europe we are very jealous of the CSC. We have one or two relatively poorly implemented astro forecasts of very questionable accuracy. Is...
... two ... I answer this question several times a month. There is fair interest in getting clocks for more than north america. Unfortuneately it's quite...
... If you implement the feature where we can interactively change the colors of the CSC squares and thereby control the weather, extra hugs for you at the...
Hi, I don't know if it'll get anywhere, but one of the Usenet groups I hang out in has a resident UK Met weather bunny. I sent him a copy of this and asked if...

... UKMET has their own weather model as we do in Canada. Same for France, Italy, Germany. In fact UKMET has the best of the europeen community model. In...
Attilla, Thanks for your update. I look forward to the new features. That would be very exciting if someone can get a European model going so you can also ...
... Indeed, it will be a problem for a few Clear Sky Clocks. I have already did some animations to see how those little holes moves within low clouds. I have...

I'm often asked to create CSCs for europe. My answer is always 1. CMC dosent forecast astronomy-weather for europe and 2. I dont know of another cloud forecast...
Attilla Just one small data point. I have been using their cloud cover forecast for a while - I have not being logging it, but (from a non expert user) it...
... Attilla, Forget it... there is no way to produce a CSC with these maps. This is the problem with all other country cloud forecasts. There is no resolution....
The powerfailure of last summer gave an accidental experiement where it was observed that without all the power generation, air pollution goes down quite a...
For selected clear sky clocks, I've added a page that summarsizes the distribution of all of the past forecasts (for which I have records). (Some people have...
... Attilla, Quite interesting this new tool you developped. I have some questions though. 1- What is the time period you use to produce these probabilities?...

Attilla, I thought of something else for your history pages. I'm curious to know how accurate the forecasts are for 24+ hours out, versus the one that is 0+...
... A lot of computing but not necessarely a good idea. The initialisation of the model could be wrong for clouds since it is a diagnostic from moisture and...
... This would be very intersting to know. But as Allan has explained comparing forecasts is not the best way to do this. The best data that I know of that...
Allan and Attilla, I agree that some sort of checking the forecasts against actual conditions would be the most useful, but that sounds pretty difficult to do...
... Yes. I'm setup to extract forecast history for particular sites. I'm happy to do this for anyone that asks. The data is a bunch of numbers and isnt pretty....
