Welcome
The modules in this Review of Aeronautical Meteorology course are being offered by The COMET® Program to serve the continuing education needs of international aeronautical forecasters. The modules and module sections listed in the Course Outline have been chosen as the most useful materials COMET offers for aeronautical forecasting training needs. Many additional modules from the MetEd Website may be useful for individual forecasters, depending on their geographic locations, degree of forecasting experience, and current level of hydrometeorological education.
In addition to this review course, COMET plans to offer additional module collections to serve the needs of international forecasters. As those are created, they will be noted on this site.
A Spanish-language version of this course, which offers a portion of the modules in Spanish, is also available.
Course Objectives
The instructional objective for this course is to provide a review of selected topics related to convective weather, fog and visibility, tropical meteorology, synoptic meteorology, mesoscale meteorology, aeronautical forecast operations, aviation icing, and some pertinent climate topics. Please see the specific objectives related to each module under the individual descriptions on the Course Outline page.
Course Goal
The goal of this course is to improve knowledge in many meteorogical areas important for aeronautical forecasters. On its own, it will not help forecasters meet all the requirements under WMO-258 guidelines, but it can contribute substantially to such a curriculum.
