You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Amateur radio severe weather spotting program))
((refimprove|date=February 2011))
'''CANWARN''', acronym for CANadian Weather Amateur Radio Network,<ref>[http://www.ec.gc.ca/meteo-weather/default.asp?lang=En&n=82ADE061-1 Environment Canada - Canadian Weather Amateur Radio Network]</ref> is an organized [[Storm spotter|severe weather spotting]] and reporting program<ref>[http://www.ec.gc.ca/meteo-weather/default.asp?lang=En&n=F3FC6CAA-1 Reporting severe weather in Canada]</ref> organized and run by the Meteorological Services Division of [[Environment Canada]]. What CANWARN members do is called [[ground truth]]ing,<ref>[[Ground truth]]</ref> they confirm and add information to the [[remote sensing]] observations of [[weather satellite|satellites]] and [[weather radar|radar]] as well as provide information not observable by these technologies.

The program was first theorized by members of the Windsor Amateur Radio Club in Windsor, Ontario in 1986.  Randy Mawson VE3TRW, Paul Robertson VE3HFQ, Jerry Beneteau VE3EXT and Bill Leal VE3ES established the original parameters and processes at that time with the first training session held in Windsor during the winter of 1986/1987 at the Windsor Airport, home at the time of the Windsor Weather Office of Environment Canada.  Paul VE3HFQ and Bill VE3ES were literally putting the final touches on the station (VE3YQG) located at the Windsor Weather Office in early April 1987 when the very first CANWARN net was called to order.  A report of a tornado in south east Michigan on a path towards Essex County was relayed to Environment Canada's severe weather desk in Toronto, Ontario.

Later that year, after the [[Edmonton tornado]] and at the request of the Hage Report<ref>Hage, K.D. (1987) Review of the Weather Warning System Associated with the Edmonton Tornado of July 31, 1987</ref> CANWARN was expanded beyond the initial program run out of the Windsor (Ontario) Weather Office.  Organized storm spotting in Canada had existed prior but operated independently of Environment Canada and never fully achieved the success that the CANWARN program did. Initially, CANWARN was predominantly based in southern Ontario and central Alberta but eventually grew to encompass the entire country by the early 1990s.

The United States began a national storm spotting program in the 1950s. Prior to that, it too had only local spotting programs. In the 1970s, it increased spotting efforts and launched its [[Skywarn]] program, which partly inspired CANWARN. In the 2000s, Europe also began organized spotting efforts under the auspices of [[Skywarn Europe]], which consists of autonomous branches in about a dozen countries.
