I spend all too much time searching and viewing weather information sites on the Internet.
Today I stumbled upon an impressive weather web site (from our very own weather.gov) for anyone wishing to learn the basics of atmospheric science and weather forecasting.
Great for for kids.. and adults too! Hey, I learned (and re-learned) a few things!
It’s from the National Weather Service- NOAA, and it’s called “JETSTREAM” — https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/
It’s a very comprehensive, extremely well-designed site that’s structured as a comprehensive introductory course to atmospheric science, somewhere between high school and college level. I think even younger kids into science would enjoy it.
It beautifully explains and illustrates things like jet streams, vorticity, upper air charts and weather. It’s the real deal and it’s basic weather science information as it should be presented. I think it could inspire more than a few budding meteorologists. I would have loved to have had access to this as a kid.
You might want to check it out…or share this with someone.
