Weather Products:

WW2010 will automatically generate roughly 3600 unique current and forecast weather maps every 24 hours. Included are the standard surface, radar, upper air and satellite observational products, plus forecast model products. Unique new products include: nine-panel surface images, isentropic maps and forecast model comparison panels.

Helper Sections:

Each and every product has a corresponding helper page that not only introduces each product, but also describes the fields displayed on the map and how to interpret them. Concept helper pages provide brief yet informative explanations about important topics in atmospheric and other related earth sciences.

Online Guides:

Included in this framework are the "Online Guides" featuring our ever-growing collection of multimedia instructional modules. These modules cover a variety of topics such as forces, fronts, hurricanes and El Niño. Each module can be traversed individually or used as a reference for learning more about topics introduced in the "helper sections". Where appropriate, there are links to corresponding real-time and archived data, plus relevant online curriculum and activities for K-12 instruction.
