DWF
At the present time we are experimenting with a revolutionary forecasting technique, known as Distributed Weather Forecasting, or DWF.  This works by having a network of precision barometric pressure sensors connected to private on-line computers, distributed over a wide area of terrain.  With these networked computers connected to a central server, real-time isobaric charts may then be computed.  Also, peer to peer communication between surrounding networked computers permits a local barographic forecast.  For more details visit www.dwf.net
