    Re: Is there any weather analyis programs for linux?

    Why do you need an application? Have a look at this site:

    http://weather.unisys.com/index.html

    It is pretty comprehensive from a technical viewpoint.
    What exactly are you trying to do? I am a climate/weather scientist so use a huge variety of such software but you need to be more specific.....

    I found one nifty little NEXRAD viewer called PyRadar, but the programmer abandoned the proggy when the NOAA changed the format of how their site handles their weather data.

    The NOAA has a java weather viewer, but it's a bit of a mess to use.
    I am a ham operator and act as net control operator for Skywarn nets. This puts me in the same room with the NWS forecasters, and I get to view their workstations. Our local NWSFO runs linux on their workstations, but I don't know if the apps are running remotely or are installed on each workstation. I will ask some of the guys in the local office for the lowdown and I'll pass along my findings.

    As Kleeman said, you have to be specific. The NCAR site for example lists 10s of sites with free software for looking at met data. It is hard to recommend anything though until we know what you want.

    I've been looking for something similar to Weather Watcher Live, but i guess i don't really know the right terms or words to use during a search.
