Climate ThermometerMany of us own a thermometer and check
the outdoor temperature once or more per day. Wouldn’t it be interesting
to know how that temperature compares to what is normal for your
location, on that date, at that time of day? The Climate Thermometer
shows you the temperature right now, along with “what’s normal.” It has
the average hourly temperature record for your location stored within it
and tells you how the current temperature differs from that average. Fifty Years of Research at South Cascade

 About HyMet Inc. HyMet is a consulting firm working in water-related projects in the western United States and worldwide. HyMet's focus is on computer forecasting models for streamflow, snowmelt, runoff and glacier mass balance. Hydroelectric utilities, energy traders, and irrigation districts are the main users of the model's results. HyMet's principal, Wendell Tangborn, has developed and refined a complex array of algorithms to forecast accumulation and snowmelt in remote, mountainous watersheds. The benefit of the computer-model approach to predicting runoff is that the input data are taken from readily available low-altitude observations of basic weather conditions, eliminating the need to measure snow accumulation directly. For four years, HyMet has offered Columbia River Basin forecasts to clients on a yearly subscription basis. The forecasts have been valuable, accurate and timely. In September 2003, the Columbia River subscription service was licensed to Lands Energy www.landsenergy.com of Seattle, which will continue to generate the forecasts with technical input from Hymet. For more information about Wendell Tangborn please see his Biography page. Our sincere thanks to Robert McNeel and
