This website sets out to explain modern meteorological processes and techniques. It adresses scientific concepts embedded therein as well as definitions and descriptions of certain weather concepts.
An number of
pages
include photographs and
physical science articles.
You can find them on the site and through my internet ezines (NO garbage!). Collect scientific (and commercial) information on a regular basis.
Also find a detailed list of photos and links to more pictures. They would include:
Snow and cloud pictures
ecosystems and polution pictures
smog pictures
ocean pictures
forest pictures
fog and atmosphere pictures
picture of toxic wastes
And to be added,
el nino pictures
ozone layer pictures
other meteorology pictures
more pictures of me, (well...maybe not)
Weather Maker Online
This weather man business was created to some extent for the use of students exploring options for a career in meteorology.
Educators of such students and other members of the public may find answers to important questions. You may think of my rudimentary explanations as "kid meteorology". It does not rely on complicated mathmatics.
The qualitative descriptions provide a synoptic look at a very technical subject, enabling readers to understand the concepts regardless of their scientific background. Where more detail is appropriate, gateways are provided to outside sources where
university math formulae
are then used.
A third type of connection from most pages is an affiliate or advertising link. This is how I make money. Interested readers purchase the products and services offered by the merchants who fulfill orders and requests in good faith.
Do not feel obligated (I'm sure you won't) to place any order. But if you find something suitable, please try and do it in such a way that your friendly weather man receives credit for the sale.
Sitesell reviews
Furthermore, you will probably notice that on nearly every page I, the weather man, provide visibility for my hosting service. This company, called
SiteSell,
has made it possible for a amateur such as myself to start internet business sites. Even without any knowledge of html or more advanced programming techniques. I highly recommend the thorough selection of both
free
and
affordable
educational materials offered by Ken Evoy and his company. Then start your business using their services.
This alone makes the
service
worthwhile. Then add features such as the keyword researching tool and automatic search engine submissions. Also see the outstanding associative marketing program dubbed the
5 Pillar Club.
It benefits those webmasters who see the value contained here and wish to share it for unusual profit potential.
This was the 32nd page added to a site of over 90 that now gets thousands of visitors every month. This weather man built it from scratch.
Thank you for your interest. Here is a quick passage to
the homepage.
The weather man's company name
Stuff in the Air
Initiated: February, 2003.
Chief, cook and bottle-washer: There is no Us in About Us, really
The name of the weather man:
Barry J. Lough
20 River Rock Circle SE Calgary,
Alberta
Canada T2C 4C3
I got it at the
University of Alberta
in Edmonton. It was one of the Canadian universities system's three meteorology schools at the time.
My meteorology jobs have included the Environment Canada weather forecasts division. Our national weather service is called Meteorological Services of Canada.
I also worked in air quality modeling ("modelling" in Canada) in various environmental consulting jobs. This weather man was then employed in the air group, regulatory and compliance consultants at the Calgary office of SEACOR Environmental
and then Duke Energy Gas Transmission.
For detailed information from my resume, please see
this page
and scroll down a ways. If you seek a detailed personality profile based on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator,

I have occasionally thought about becoming a television weather man.
I am 41 (in 2007) and married with two daughters. When I am not on the job
music industry
is on my mind. I am a part-time musician on keyboard and vocals with ShadowBeat. Also drums in Calgary's non-profit
Calysto Steelband.
I grow my company to provide wanted information for the net public plus supplemental income for my family and eventually employment for others.
Here is a photograph of me performing in a Karaoke bar in Barbados, February 2004. The microphone is in my left hand. Notice I don't look anything like Nicolas Cage.
This is one of our band pictures.
And now the band blog.
