Dan,

I used a tutorial from Geoserver itself that talked about Hurricane tracks. The 
idea was to convert hurricane best track data from shape files (.shp) to 
Postgis. I think it was the best tutorial I have seen. Note, though, weather 
data is no different than any other data. The one thing that is perhaps unique 
in weather data is the use of wind barbs (and stream lines).

Wind barbs are directional (opposite direction of a vector) and contain speed 
information using "wind barbs". Would be interesting if anyone has used this 
symbol in GIS.

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] Displaying weather data with GeoServer question


I should have added, I'm thinking mainly about radar data, i.e. storms,
hurricanes.
