... boxes. As you ... are ... Ok. I no longer count "white" in either transparency or seeing forecasts. That does however make the stats difficult to...
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....
Attilla, Minneapolis would be close enough. I view at a few sites a bit south of town, but Minneapolis would be central in this area. Thanks. -- Steve...
Some you may be interested to have a look at these images of Alaska-Yukon forest fires and smoke production! The loop is a bit long to download but worth the...
... Mike, Worldwide weather numerical models don't take account fire and smoke in their data base. There is no such operational data base and it is impossible...
Starting tonight, July 29th 2004, The sky transparency forecast is now showing 5 color levels instead of 4. It will be in harmony with the seeing forecast...

Hello, I have a question regarding what atmospheric conditions are most conducive to good seeing. I recently read on one retired meteorologist's web site, "The...

Thank you for your responses to my query regarding optimal seeing conditions. They are clear and understandable. Are there any references (books, websites, ...
Hello, It has been a while I have not written anything on this list ! I'm developing the atmospheric seeing trend model based on non-hydrostatic models : NMM...
Hi Brice-Olivier, I am always looking for operational model but not university type models. I know there are many models having high resolution (same at CMC...
As you all noticed, the CSC includes wind forecast since wednesday. I did add the wind, temperature and relative humidity forecast on my astro-meteo-weather...

Good morning, I noticed the CSC didn't update last night. There was serious problem at CMC with super-computer and front end computer as well. It will be too...
Hi Allan. Thanks for noticing the cmc astro forecasts were down. I was watching them careful, but decided not to bother you when you should be spending...
