Also, in your browser Preferences, enable JavaScript. We regret any inconvenience. Welcome to the FloodCast Home Page. The FloodCast page hosts a suite of online flood forecast maps produced by the Meteorology Division of Earth Satellite Corporation (EarthSat), and is proudly sponsored by: A quality leader in flood zone determinations. (800) 247-3384 FloodCast: Better, Longer Range Flood Forecast Maps FloodCast brings accurate and timely flood forecast maps to your PC via the internet in just seconds. For as little as $5 a month (based on statewide purchase), you can receive the latest forecasted flood danger by county for your state, your region, or the entire country. FloodCast provides a more detailed and longer range flood forecast than the National Weather Service (NWS) allowing for more time and better information on which to base decisions. Derived from the NWS Flash Flood Guidance data and EarthSat's proprietary quantitative precipitation forecasts, FloodCast color codes each county according to one of 5 flood danger levels: Very High, High, Moderate, Low, and None. The maps are updated as often as four times daily, depending on weather and flood conditions, and are easily accessed from the FloodCast home page on the internet. No special hardware or software required. FloodCast consists of two separate products:

Plymouth State Meteorology Program Cloud Boutique A more detailed examination of basic cloud forms from the PSC meteorology Program, with plenty of photographs and explanations. http://vortex.plymouth.edu/clouds.html
Extractions: Lenticular Clouds over Plymouth, NH The Plymouth State Meteorology Program has developed this server to provide explanations of and access to detailed pictures of some basic cloud forms. The cloud images are relatively large (640x480) in order to show detailed structure and features. All of these pictures were taken in the local area around Plymouth, New Hampshire and most from the weather observation deck on the roof of the Boyd Science Center on the Plymouth State campus. Clouds can move and change shape quickly as indicated in this 30 minute time-lapse mpeg video loop . The purpose of this "boutique" is to provide a general cloud reference and is not intended to provide an all-inclusive list. Images will be added to or changed as opportunities permit. Clouds are generally classified based on characteristics, such as, altitude, appearance, or origin. Altitude distinctions apply to those clouds that fit in various layers of the atmosphere as follows:

Risoe National Laboratory, Denmark The Atmospheric Transport Exchange section of the Risoe laboratory performs research into boundarylayer meteorology and atmospheric turbulence, and into environmental problems related to the transport of airborne pollutants. Typical research tasks are dispersion of smoke puffs and plumes; dispersion of heavier-than-air plumes; and real-time dispersion modeling for emergency managing support. http://www.risoe.dk/vea-atu

CEE/ODU Civil/Environmental Computer Model Library (CEML) Describes a graphical user interface (GUI), developed by the Civil Engineering Department of the Old Dominion University, for using the U.S. EPA's ISC3 models in the Microsoft Windows environment. Presents an excellent discussion of the ISC3 models including input requirements, dispersion options, source options, receptor options, meteorology options, and output options. http://www.cee.odu.edu/air/isc3/odu_isc3.html
Extractions: ODU_ISC3 - Industrial Source Complex Dispersion Air Quality Model Windows Interface Windows 95/98/NT Yes (Help file) ODU ODU_ISC3 is a GUI interface for simulating ISC3 (Industrial Source Complex) Dispersion Air Quality models in the Microsoft Windows environment. ODU_ISC3 and Core programs Download This introduction is organized into three parts; ODU_ISC3 Interface Usage (= How to run the program), Short introduction to EPA's ISC3 Dispersion Air Quality models, and Sources of further model information and other EPA Air Quality models. No attempt has been made to include any specific ISC3 model input datafile format descriptions and requirements in either this instruction nor in ODU_ISC3 program. For specific user instructions and data format requirements, please download and consult following EPA publications. Overview of the ISC Models Industrial Source Complex (ISC3) models are consist of the Short Term (ISCST3) and Long Term (ISCLT3) models. The ISC models include a wide range of options for modeling air quality impacts of pollution sources, making them popular choices among the modeling community for a variety of applications. Regulatory Applicability The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains the Guideline on Air Quality Models which provides the agency's guidance on regulatory applicability of air quality dispersion models in the review and preparation of new source permits and State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions. Regulatory application of the ISC3 models should conform to the guidance set forth in the Guideline, including the most recent Supplements. Any non-guideline application of the models should meet the requirements of the applicable reviewing agency, such as an EPA Regional Office, a State or a local air pollution control agency.
