The MacMet Online Lessons can be accessed by clicking on Lessons
in the menu bar and dragging to the desired topic.
- For each lesson topic a text explanation is
given, which can be printed. When you click the Hide Text button,
you now see the related data for a selected station. You can also
view all the data for your group by clicking on the Prev St button
(previous station) or the Next St button (next station).
- It is also useful to note that in the Wind
Chill Lesson there is a Chart button which gives you a nice Wind
Chill Index.
