I don't have the URL Paul just search for "Weather and Climate" in Google
groups and hit the join button.

The URL would presumably be:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!fo...therandclimate

Not sure why you would need to be a member just to read the forum (ie rather
than to have posting rights). That seems a little odd - it's hardly a secret
society.
