+AWeather is a free/open source application which has been designed
+to integrate and visualize high-quality meteorological data using an
+interactive Virtual Globe interface suitable for a wide range of
+users including weather enthusiasts, academics, and professionals.
+It is designed to provide more information than is typically
+available from weather widgets and simple desktop applications. At
+the same time, it strives to be simpler and easier to use than
+existing meteorological software packages such as GEMPAK and IDV.
+Currently AWeather only displays data provided by the United States
+National Weather Service.
