Several public travel-weather information resources have been developed at the UW in cooperation with and supported by the WSDOT. These web pages have been run for several years and have become extraordinarily popular, with some receiving over 100,000 hits per day. The highly popular route-view web pages provide weather conditions on Washington's mountain passes, and the Ferry Weather web page shows weather conditions over the State's waterways and includes weather data collected on Washington State ferries. Finally WSDOT's Traffic and Weather web pages provide extensive weather observation and forecast information for the traveling public. All of these sites rely heavily on data and model output provided and maintained by the UW. |
