What a treat! You probably saw the 1900 CDT sounding balloon from El Paso, Texas. Here is a map which shows the active stations in the U.S.: http://weather.unisys.com/upper_air/skew/index.html There's an excellent tutorial on how to read these SKEW-T diagrams here: http://www.meted.ucar.edu/resource_modlist.php Look for "SKEW-T Mastery." I've been through the course once, and I use the knowledge a few times a week. I have also poked at some of the mesoscale meteorology topics. http://www.meted.ucar.edu/mesoprim/skewt/ The courses are free. I wish all online instruction was done as well. And since the atmosphere has profound effects on our ability to engage in our hobby, and that there are a number of entries for satellite-based meteorology among the courses, I hope Mr. Molczan will accept this as being on-topic again. :) John -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHDvrVThFRLa48rEYRAtQ2AJ9neuGzk7AciHRZdjkdcK47yB+QWQCfYI66 OI8r1nPwqSHrLcNDKWYMP38= =fKUW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
