The WX Station

Weather Satellites was designed to be used as a supplemental resource for students in the 372-255 Meteorology course. This project is part of a larger effort by the UW-Stout Physics Department to explore the application of World Wide Web technology in instruction.
The module was originally developed to serve as a model application for a workshop on developing hypermedia instruction modules with HTML, funded by the UW-Stout Nakatani Center.
