Thanks to Ron Clarke for leading an outstanding session on "Weather Resources and Analysis" this last Sunday. The Sunday forecast was for poor soaring conditions and unfortunately the weather lived up to the forecast. Despite that, about a dozen members came out to Alexandria to participate in the discussion.
Below are some links to the resources mentioned in the discussion.
Air Sports Net Muncie Aviation Forecast: http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?Submit=Go&sta=KMIE&state=IN
NOAA's Aviation Weather Center: http://aviationweather.gov/
An easy way to try BMapper and avoid creating your own maps and setting everything up from the website, go to:
http://soarindy.info/files/BMapper/
and download the files. Complete installation instructions are in the readme file. Just double click on the readme file to get started.
As a reminder, the final 2010 session will be held on 31 October at 11am. John Earlywine will lead a discussion on "Off-season Opportunities and Resources." Afterwards, I will be soliciting opinions on the study group sessions. If there is interest in continuing in 2011, we'll discuss possible topics and scheduling.
