There are some striking weather and climate related images at National Geographic Society's wallpaper [|web site]. The picture above shows a springtime snow squall approaching Great Falls Montana. Photography of the skies at night can be equally breathtaking. The World at Night Project ([|TWAN]) documents stunning photographs of the moon, the planets, the stars and the clouds after sunset.

Measurement science is responsible for accurate determination of weather and climate elements. [|Experimentation and Measurement] is an excellent primer on measurement science, written in 1961 by a NIST scientist, W.J. Youden for the National Science Teachers Association.
