Martin, The use of millibars is certainly increasing, except for aviation and TV weather (which to me is ridiculous, as it's really the pressure change that's important, so any number would do).
Unfortunately, knots are standard fare for winds for many meteorological applications, tropical cyclones/hurricanes in particular. I think that's driven by seafarers who are all about knots!

The only one I know of is incomplete, www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane/tracker. It offers a metric option, but the information is not directly plotted on the map, but is given in a table below the map. It uses millibars for pressure, but knots for speeds instead of km/h. _______________________________________________ USMA mailing list [email protected] https://lists.colostate.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usma _______________________________________________ USMA mailing list [email protected] https://lists.colostate.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usma
