This section of the web site will be devoted to my studies and research in Meteorology (from Greek: μετέωρον, metéōron, "high in the sky"; and λόγος, lógos, "knowledge"), the study of atmospheric phenomena. My work lies in two areas.

First, I have developed a number of web widgets to display current and forecasted conditions derived from National Weather Service data feeds, both NWS RSS-generated data and data that I collect from a variety of live and historical raw observation data feeds. That data collection is the second area that are working on currently and will include not only normal weather observations (temperature, dew point, wind, pressure, etc.) but also near real-time RADAR and satellite data. The display of this data will cross over into my Master's area of study, Geography. I plan on developing a web-based weather display overlaying a base map showing normal map features, as well as aerial/satellite images and terrain.

Special thanks to Dr Joby Hilliker for his excellent classes and his interest in some of my more bizarre ideas.
