CLIMATE ON THE INTERNET
Roger Pocklington There are some sites on the Internet that have real climatic information (as opposed to "image" sites that have form and colour but no substance). I surely have not visited all of them yet, but here are two for starters: http://www.on.doe.ca/ccrm/bulletin/page1.html is Environment Canada's. Packaged in a new Climate Trends and Variations Bulletin, it has the latest annual and seasonal, regional and national temperature and precipitation information, up to the end of 1995 would you believe! http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/onlineprod/prod.htmll#forml is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's). It allows you to choose global, hemispheric, continental or user-defined regions of the globe, and download colour plots of areal distributions or time-series of temperature and precipitation for 1900 to 1993. There are others in the U.K., Europe, Australia, South Africa, etc. that we have yet to evaluate, but which look exciting. Watch future issues of DELTA for a listing with critical comments.
