Weather Tracking System was ordered by Youth Activity Department of Weizmann Institute.
The program gets data from the Weizmann Institute MeteoStation every minute via the network. The program was ordered for Weizmann youngest "students" and guests so was suppose to be bright, showy, entertaining and easy to use and understand.
   The real time display is a colorful graphic representation of the available data   :
 
 
 		 The following data is available: 
Two types of  TEMPERATURE  : the "normal" temperature and the "evaporation" temperature, the difference between them is used for humidity calculation
 		 The HUMIDITY in percents is a result of calculation
 		 The WIND SPEED is measured in meters per second and the WIND  DIRECTION in degrees (northern direction is 0°) On the display is shown with the arrow of corresponding length and tilt.
 		 The RADIATION is measured in  relative units. Two "types" of radiation are measured: the "direct" radiation directly from the sun and the "general " radiation, that includes all the the scattered and reflected radiations.  It is displayed by the variable color of the sun on the graph, from black at night till bright red when it comes to it's maximum.
The display changes automatically every 10 seconds (the frequency may be set to any). After every round all the data are displayed together on the "digital" monitor
All the representation is accompanied with the large choice of music fragments. The user can choose the kind of music he wants.

   Another feature of the program allows one to look through meteo data archive The "history monitor" gives possibility to choose any time region and to see  all the data on the chart.
User can print the data or copy it into clipboard and use in another program.
The Internet interface for this program is also available
