Differences in Surface Weather Maps Between Japan and Taiwan
Japan's surface weather maps have a shorter update interval (if I remember correctly). Taiwan's surface weather maps have markers added on top of the satellite imagery. Japan's standards seem stricter if I recall correctly (?) So some areas differ quite a bit. (My earth science teacher's lecture notes seem to use Japan's) But I think Taiwan's depiction of fronts looks better, so I tend to look at the 'Satellite Imagery' more often. Satellite imagery... it's just satellite imagery, I look at it a lot (looking for typhoons :)) I also look at 'windy' to check wind direction (the particle animations are so cool). And that's how I fell in love with atmospheric science.
