Hi, Hi, I am 15 years old and I love clouds, so much that I have written a book about them. My book contains over 70 cloud photos and it explains what weather different clouds indicate. It will enable you to forecast the weather yourself as well as explaining why these clouds happen. I hope you don't mind me telling you about it, but I really think that it would be of interest to this group. You can find out more about my book here: http://oliverperkins.com/product/the-message-of-the-clouds-ebook/ I have had the book fact checked by Christopher Collier - ex-president of the Royal Meteorological Society who said: “This book is well researched and the reader is offered practical information in an easy to assimilate form.” Many thanks Olly

Hello; I was just wondering whether there exists on the market global weather-forecasting models that one could buy. The sort of thing I am interested in getting is a global weather-prediction model that one could run sequentially and find out the weather expected in any part of the world one so chooses. I am after something that you could enter parameters for wind speeds, temperature, humidity and radiation at different levels in the atmosphere, atmospheric subsidence or ascent, sea-surface and land temperatures and radiation plus atmospheric angular momentum (or pick parameters ready installed). One would also be able to put in ocean temperatures for each 100 metres of the oceans and be able to put in things like ice-cover, snow-cover, type of surface (and their albedos and surface roughness) which all have a major impact on weather conditions on the local and macro-scale. It would, ideally, be possible to have parameters on a scale of 100 miles X miles for each value and blocks of atmosphere 1 km thick with this model. I would use such a model to predict weather over months and seasons, and out of curiosity to model things like super-volcanoes and the Solar Constant dropping by 1%. Does anyone know if such Models are available for the general public to buy, and if so what is the likely cost?? Thanks, Ian Pennell

Thought this might spark some interest with all the discussion recently with the precipitation models and radar data, i have also included a few questions based around what the topic is about. I really am not sure why the precipitation prediction models are changing in a short space of time with where they place the rain/snow with each run, the data is collected from the atmosphere and then fed into the computers which then roll out what is called a run, this is the model output as we know it, some models have a new updated output at varied times of the day or night, so why do they change so much? one run can present itself with snow fans dreams! and then the next output its vanished, and quite possibly it would be back on again in not so many hours, so why can they have such extremes? and how many days into the model output do you trust to materialise? I have plenty to chat about on this subject and im sure many of you do to! Here are the questions from the poll: 1 - Favourite Model? 2 - Prefer NMM or NAE/Both/Other? 3 -How many days ahead in the model output do you have confidence in? 4 - Do you think precipitation model data to actual radar data is becoming less or more better 5 - What is short range forecasting to you?
