Standard meteorological surface maps, current and the last 6 hours, show observed conditions, radar echoes (areas of precipitation, which may be as much as 30% larger than reality) and frontal positions. The observed conditions are plotted on a standard model.

Meteograms are a time-series plot of observed conditions, and can show at a glance interesting events (frontal passage, precipitation events, fog, cloud cover, and wind shifts, among others).

The Gulf Buoys and Costal Stations provide observations at remote sites similar to those of surface land stations, and are used in much the same way.

The meteograms are from Unisys, the Gulf Buoys and Costal stations are provided by FSU and the National Weather Service Office, Tallahassee. The surface maps from Unisys's WXPweather server.
