WeatherNet4 was a first-of-its-kind project involving NASA and a broadcast television station. The intent was to increase the American people’s exposure to Earth and space science data via the Internet and broadcast TV. It has proven that the television meteorologist/ weathercaster is indeed a "Science Ambassador," ready to deliver Earth and space science information daily to those watching television. By using state-of-the-art technology and communications, NBC4WRC-TV in Washington, DC, has established the most comprehensive local Web site dedicated to weather and Earth and space science. Innovative visualizations of weather have motivated many Americans to get connected to the Internet in the Washington, DC. area and across the nation. This increases the use and public awareness of NASA and NOAA data and information tremendously.
