Tools for Common Meteorological Calculations


Please note that the calculations will provide more digits than what you might need. Be wise and truncate "INSIGNIFICANT" digits as you see fit in your application.
The tools are written in Java 1.0/1.2 and are required to use a Java enable browser. Please use the latest browser (Netscape 4.7 or above, or Internet Explorer 5.0 or above). Also depend on the speed of your own computer, it might take a while for the Java program to load. BE PATIENT.
