• This site is recommended by John Scott as a source for Skew-T graphs [John's notes]
• The site also offers other graphic model products and John uses it as a "one stop shop"
• On disadvantage is it is a little cumbersome because you need to enter an anti-automation access code for each new view
• The big advantage is that you can view multiple graphic products from multiple forecast models for any location you enter.
