• NOAA Tides and Currents tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tides09/ This system will allow you to obtain tidal predictions computed by CO-OPS for more than 3,000 water-level stations. The publication of full daily predictions is limited to fewer stations. These stations with full daily predictions are referred to as "reference stations." The remaining stations are referred to as "subordinate stations." Tidal predictions for subordinate stations can be obtained by applying specific differences to the times and heights of tides of the specified reference stations. These pages provide a listing of the 3,000-plus subordinate stations with the differences already applied. These differences are located in the prediction header. The list of subordinate stations has been broken down into states and other areas where water-level stations are located. Each state is further broken down into regions. Each region presents a list of the water-level stations in the area. The stations are listed geographically; thus, stations that are near each other along the shoreline are near each other in the listing. This simplifies locating a station of interest.

• Sun and Moon Data www.srh.noaa.gov/jax/sunmoon.shtml You can obtain the times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, transits of the Sun and Moon, and the beginning and end of civil twilight, along with information on the moon's phase by specifying the date and place.

• Sun Path Chart solardat.uoregon.edu/SunChartProgram.html This program creates sun path charts in Cartesian coordinates for: (1) "typical" dates of each month (i.e.; days receiving about the mean amount of solar radiation for a day in the given month); (2) dates spaced about 30 days apart, from one solstice to the next; or (3) a single date you specify. You can select whether hours are plotted using local standard time or solar time. In addition, there are a number of options available to allow you to alter the chart's appearance.

• Weather Forecast www.srh.noaa.gov/jax/current_data.shtml NOAA and the National Weather Service Reports. From daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings and climate monitoring.

• Film Commission HQ www.filmcommissionhq.com/ FilmCommissionHQ serves the interests of local professionals (cast & crew), businesses, government offices and community groups in regions served by member Film Commissions. Those individuals, vendors, and groups also have specific needs relative to their involvement in motion media production, both locally and wherever else they may perform their professional duties. In cooperation with local Film Commissions, and directly, FilmCommissionHQ provides these "end-user" clients with products and services that facilitate and enhance their location-specific experience.
