Research Breakthrough Will Lead to More Accurate Weather Forecasts

I was intrigued by this article:

Research Breakthrough Will Lead to More Accurate Weather Forecasts
More accurate global weather forecasts and a better understanding of climate change are in prospect thanks to a breakthrough by engineers at Queen's University Belfast's Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology (ECIT).

Thank you so much; I'm going to show this to my son. He's kind of the ultimate weather geek.

I'm intrigued by weather too. Back in college I took a meteorology class from a real weatherman. That was lots of fun.

One of the things I arranged for him to do was take a tour of the local NOAA station this summer. He's already decided that he's going to go to our local university and major in meteorology, it being one of few universities to actually offer it as an undergrad major.

Autistic kids tend to focus obsessively on a topic. His is weather. But he also has a weather-gift, as do I, so I'm trying to teach him how to "listen" to the internal perceptions. You should have seen his face when his dad told him that if weather.com and I disagreed, he was trusting me. :)
