Earth Gauge Initiative

The COMET Program is pleased
to be partnering with the AMS, the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF),
and the EPA Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds to support the NEEF Earth Gauge initiative.

Together, we're developing a series of on-line modules, especially tailored for broadcast meteorologists' needs for communicating to their communities. These modules will also count for continuing education credit under the AMS CBM certification program.
