Output from the UK Met Office Unified Model
Wetterzentrale Site
The MSLP output includes the 500-hPa field (colour
shading), and the key 1000/500-hPa thickness isopleths (eg 510 dam, 528
dam, 546 dam, 564 dam, and 582 dam).

Meteocentre Site
Two sets of charts are available, MSLP isobaric output
(4-mb spacing) plus 500-hPa contours and the key total thickness of the
1000/500-hPa layer (in the standard colours used by the Met Office (Brown
- 510 dam, Blue - 528 dam, Green - 546 dam, Red - 564 dam, Purple - 582
dam). The Models Menu page
on the site provides a wide choice of presentations. The links below are
a selection of the pages available. Products are available separately from
the last two runs of the model (based on 0000 GMT and 1200 GMT data). The
looped sequence interface allows the viewer several options including the
selection of specific frames.

Surface Analysis for 00Z (with plotted observations) and a Surface Prognosis for 12Z the following day
The following two charts via the Free University of Berlin are the only two charts available on the Internet from the DWD (updated charts do not usually appear until after 9am UK time). Charts (see below) other than the surface analysis for which links are available are copies of the charts broadcast by the DWD on its radio-facsimile broadcast.
Surface Analysis for 00:00 UTC T+36 Surface Prognosis VT 12:00 UTC tomorrow
The DWD disseminates additional model output and manually adjusted prognoses for the North Atlantic area and Europe on its radio-facsimile broadcast. Also included on the broadcast are charts of output (out to T+72) from the DWD Global Model, again for much of the North Atlantic and Europe, but in a four-up presentation. The Observatori Meteorològic de Sort makes many of these products available on the Web in GIF format. It is noted that only products out to T+72 are available (the T+96 prognosis on the broadcast is only provided for the marine community within the context of the Convention for Safety of Life at Sea and cannot be made available to third parties). It is noted that the quality of the products depends on reception of the radio broadcast and therefore the quality of the charts can vary considerably from day to day.
Note that for ease of access, this server grabs several of the products from the Observatori Meteorològic de Sort site and zips them into two zipped files (see below).

Saving the chart and converting to a negative of the original may make the charts
easier to understand.
