Abstract :
If you have any interest in meteorology, you can learn a lot by trawling the World Wide Web. As with other subjects, it presents a wealth of in-depth data; a modem is the key to the previously inaccessible ivory tower of knowledge. You can get weather data and images that you can´t get from TV or newspapers, and you can do it when you want rather than waiting for a newscast or newspaper edition. You can also find other travel-related information, like traffic flow and marine conditions online. In short, if someone has information to share, it is likely to be on the Web, and if someone wants information, they can probably find it on the Web. It just takes a little searching
