		<title>GRIB2 Migration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I started having a problem with the previous GFS forecast data source I was using for Seasonality forecasts.  Just as a bit of background, Seasonality will download forecasts for U.S. locations from the NWS&#8217;s NDFD service.  For locations outside the U.S., I have to get the data from somewhere [...]]]></description>

		<title>Populated Places</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When developing weather software, one of the most important pieces of data you will work with is a location list.  A weather application is useless if the user can&#8217;t find a city and download weather data for it.  There are several different methods users might want to be able to search for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Precipitation Intensity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I revisited the code on the Seasonality forecast server that decides on precipitation intensity.  I.E., how much rain does it take to have a drizzle, light rain, moderate rain, or heavy rain?  This is forecasted in 12 hour blocks, and I take the sum of precipitation over that time frame to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>90 Meter Elevation Data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To generate an international forecast for Seasonality, I take in a GeoPoint and find the 4 closest surrounding data points from the GFS Forecast model.  The GFS data is 0.5 degree resolution, so if I had a location at point 50.2° latitude, 30.8° longitude, I would use the following data points when generating the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Welcome to the weather developer blog.  I wanted to start up this site both as a resource for developers working on weather software, and as a site for weather geeks who wish to know more about what goes onbehind the scenes.
Getting the ball rolling on Seasonality 2.0 development, in the coming months I will have several topics [...]]]></description>
