To complement the standard printed material, several of the authors have elected to provide you with additional material in the form of raw data, color images and animations. The material is included on this CD-ROM and can be accessed with any standard browser. The material is not part of the peer reviewed article -- it is provided to complement the article by taking advantage of a more flexible medium.

The links below will take you to the material associated with each specific article. Most of the material is contained directly on the CD-ROM, however, there are several links to some authors' home pages or other referenced material that can only be viewed if you have web access.

This CD-ROM is exploratory to find out if authors value the added flexibility of what this medium provides and to find out how the readers of Weather and Forecasting feel about such supplemental material. Please feel free to contact either the AMS headquarters or the Chief Editor of Weather and Forecasting if you have any comments.
