Hello,

Since our primary users that we are funded to support are based in the US 
that's where most of our data are centralized over. We don't have access to all 
global satellite and METAR data, but we do have the GFS 1.0 global model.

As for changing units, there isn't a single place that switches between 
imperial and metric, however you can search for specific parameters and models 
and change these units in a user override file. We have a blog that gives an 
example on how to do this:
