2. I think it's probably a high-school or freshman college curriculum
But the content is too cool for words. I was reading the one about Doppler radar and learned TONS just from it.

5. Oh, no doubt
I agree with both things you said. It's just that I discovered the site this morning! I read the empirical data all the time, but the information on this site gives me a broader context within which to understand the empirical data (since I'm not a meteorologist, just a geek).

:think:
