it's sometimes difficult to keep up with the changes on this site,
which is excellent in so many ways, but two I've noted recently (not
sure when they kicked in) a-

1. EC model output is now presented at a resolution of 0.5° (rather
than 2.5° previously), and the presentation is now less 'blocky' than
it was.

2. At the top of the image, note 'Comparer avec': you can now
instantly compare various models at the same VT just by 'drifting' the
cursor (i.e. not clicking) over the appropriate name.

It certainly is an excellent site, Martin. Internet Explorer 8 will translate
most of the pages into intelligible English automatically.

105 errors on the W3C Markup Validation Service site.

Pretty typical for pages written in Windows malware. Crooks just love
that sort of stuff for bot herding. Check your malware protection
definitions. (AKA wipe your feet when you leave if you use IE to go
there.)

Martin,

For what it's worth I have been working with the wizards at
weatheronline to create something similar, viz:

http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-b...s&modeladd=cmc

The click-boxes allow you to compare the models of your choosing, and
the numbers from 0-384 allow you compare the models - where available.

The main reasoning for doing this is that it aids "model-watching" -
but the drop down that says "Base" allows you to access the previous 6
days' forecast data to see how each of the models have forecasted the
current situation. e.g. for 12Z today (Saturday) you could go to Tues,
12Z GMT on the Base drop-down and pick 96 and see how the models
compare out to 12Z today.

Cheers,
Richard

.... thanks Richard: indeed, the WeatherOnline source is truly amazing
too!

I was only thinking a few days back that we've come a long way since
this newsgroup started: no radar & models via US sites (where
available).

Martin.

.... and since yesterday/Saturday 3rd April (I think), this site now
displays the full run from T+0 to T+240 in daily time-steps.
