Windows to the Universe

http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/Atmosphere/layers.html

The first 2 links were pretty simple to read and understand however the 3rd link "WIndow's to the Universe" went in depth and provided a lot of opportunity to dig deeper into several categories related to weather such as weather, Climate, ozone holes, Air pollution ect. The site was very well laid out on the topic we were covering (Layers of the Earth’s atmosphere) was just the tip of the iceberg. The site can take you in a slightly different direction if you are curious about space and the solar system. As well as some links on the left hand side that talked about ozone holes, air pollution, and climate just to name a few. The site seems very credible based on the things I already know about weather and the way they present the information give me a good feeling they know what they are talking about. The site is brought to us by the National earth Science Teachers Association a non-profit founded back in 1985 so the accuracy of the information and credibility of the information is very good. As far as the Currency goes a lot of the info and news stories stopped getting updated around 2011 however I don't think we have made any huge breakthroughs in weather in the last 4 years so it’s a detail I think we can overlook. Of the 3 sites I think it is by far the best with all the options and different tabs to answers anyone's question about weather. The only thing I did not like about the site is that they seemed to stop putting new weather articles up on the site. The last one they have is the Earthquake that hit Japan back in 2011. I would still come back to this site over the other sites to get quick info or to satisfy any curiosity I have about weather.
