Professional Development Resources

The COMET Program has been providing high-quality training and education materials to meteorology professionals and students since 1989. We're enhanced our level of support to the broadcast met community by offering this Website containing featured training materials, certification information, and free, confidential tracking of your MetEd professional development progress via your own MetEd account.

Beyond the Forecast:

Reporting on Science and the Environment

Weathercasters and broadcast meteorologists have a unique opportunity to raise public awareness of critical health, environment, and science issues. This is one reason the AMS and other organizations are supporting broadcast industry efforts to expand their weather reporting beyond the forecast. A new role as Station Scientist is emerging for many broadcast mets, and it's a trend that appears to be gaining momentum. This site offers many resources to help.

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.
