From The Weather Center:

WeatherBrains 101: In this edition of WeatherBrains 101, we take a look at a handy tool used by meteorologists for analyzing the atmosphere. First discussed in a paper written in 1857, a hodograph is a useful tool for visualizing the atmosphere from data gained through soundings.

Listener Surveys: Okay, we continue to drive this topic into the ground, but we really do like to hear from you. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to fill out the Listener Survey.
