Weather forecasts are extremely important to the offshore oil business, shipping and fishermen, but they rely not much by the CNN type of forecasts, but have their own sources for quality weather forecasts. Some of these are commercial and not open to the public and are highly specialized. Especially is this true for the offshore oil business, which needs special forecasts tailored to them. In sum there are so many different interests regarding the weather and it is not possible for the media to address all these different interests. http://www.metar.no/wf_introduction_2.html http://www.metar.no/contact.html 706D3EB0-87F0-4DD3-A9A7-A6EEBDBF2F60 Fri, 16 May 2008 17:01:43 +0200 This is the first article in a series of educational articles about the weather and how you can do your own weather forecasts. Several articles will be written containing the most important things to do and to look out for. It is not as complicated doing your own forecast as many may think. Just by looking at the sky, noticing what is happening with the clouds and the wind can make you a very good local weather forecaster. In addition a few cheap weather instruments, like an outside thermometer and a barometer, will make you even better to understand what is going to happen the next few hours or even a day before the weather event actually hits. http://www.metar.no/wf_introduction_1.html http://www.metar.no/contact.html 1AAF3FA7-1D92-40A7-9B99-07C82E089BBC Thu, 15 May 2008 19:28:19 +0200 Global warming is expected to increase the intensity of forces of nature, such as storms, hurricanes, tropical cyclones and tornadoes. It is defined not by various meteorological events, such as heat waves or cold snaps or hurricanes, but by the global average surface temperature. It is already increasing the intensity of hurricanes in the North Atlantic, increasing the risk of severe force when a storm hits. http://www.metar.no/global_warming.html http://www.metar.no/contact.html 64EDAC77-ACAF-4436-A90B-045D276DDD95 Sat, 10 May 2008 15:36:15 +0200
