Description:
The site consists of a series of questions and other text with graphs. Typical questions are: Are air temperatures the same over land and water? What is air pressure? Does water temperature differ between near-shore and offshore sites? What are tides? How do tropical storms differ from winter storms? The approach is technical, with extensive use of graphing.
