EMWIN Software for Linux?
Chanc_Gorkon asks: "anyone know of any EMWIN software for Linux? EMWIN stands for Emergency Managers Weather Information Network. Weathernode is a free as in beer client for windows that can accept this info. EMWIN will pick up National Weather Service alerts usually before the TV and Radio people say anything. I searched both Freshmeat and Google and saw nothing but maybe embryonic projects, not ready even for developer consumption. Further info can be found at the NWS's EMWIN page. It seems, to me, that this would be a nice thing to have on Linux since Weathernode eats resources. This program even can retreive NEXRAD images and animate them."
"One can access this network from a satellite feed using equipment similar to DSS equipment (GOES 8 and 9 transmit this info), via rebroadcast if your locality or local amateur radio rebroadcasts the signal (can be picked up with scanner, and you can feed this thru a TNC, or a soundcard input) or the Internet.
