COMET receives honor from the National Weather Association

COMET Director, Dr. Tim Spangler, accepted this award which is presented to an individual or organization providing significant contributions to increase the public's weather awareness.

The Social COMETeer

Do you have a Facebook account? Interested in connecting with other COMET/MetEd users? Visit, connect and share on COMET's Facebook group page.

And for those of you that are avid photographers, we recently set up a COMETWx Flickr group to share images. We're always looking for good shots to include in our modules and here's a great way to share your photos with us and the rest of the COMET community.

Are you going mobile? We're thinking about it...

mobilemeted We're experimenting with Mobile MetEd, a version of MetEd with links to our print versions for viewing content on low-bandwidth with small screens. It's a work in progress but feel free to visit our latest incarnation at:

COMET/MetEd on iTunes U

The UCAR/NCAR community has a spot in iTunes U. The National Science Digital Library (NSDL), a National Science Foundation funded program, is our host. You'll find a small collection of COMET materials available in the 'Earth Science' section (link will launch iTunes; iTunes software required). These video adaptions of our modules can be downloaded for viewing on video-capable devices.

RSS Feed for module publications

A while back we added a RSS feed as a means to distribute new module publication information. We'll keep a permanent link to the feed in the column to the right, at the top of the "Recent Publications" list, as well as on our Subscribe to Updates page. If you make use of feeds, be sure to subscribe; it's a great way to get a link to the latest COMET modules.

What's New?

Thanks for your input!

We received over 200 responses to our survey on the use of print and download versions of our modules. Your time and feedback are much appreciated!
