7.36. Can I find out about the weather in different areas of the world through the Internet?
That's one of the most interesting new features, and the answer is yes! To
start, you can point your Gopher client at wx.atmos.uiuc.edu to talk to
the University of Illinois weather server. For weather in England, try using
FTP to look on host cumulus.met.ed.ac.uk for weather maps in the
directory /weather/gifs. Other FTP sites worth checking are as follows:
Hostname FTP Directory
- early-bird.think.com pub/weather/maps
- ftp.uwp.edu pub/wx
- kestrel.umd.edu pub/wx (also see pub/wxsat)
- wmaps.aoc.nrao.edu pub/wx
- wuarchive.wustl.edu multimedia/images/wx
- wx.research.att.com wx
A good source for information on weather maps is host unidata.ucar.edu.
Login to the system with FTP and look in the directory images for
information.
