MetEd is a free collection of hundreds of training resources intended for the geoscience community. Whether you're an experienced meteorologist honing existing skills or a student looking for new geoscience topics of interest, we have something for you. Learn more about MetEd in this short video.
This lesson explores RGB (Red, Green, Blue) composite satellite imagery products that are particularly useful for environmental applications including detection and characterization of surface features, cloud types, convection, and dust. The lesson includes...
This lesson introduces learners to the satellite-based climate data records (CDRs) used to support climate observation and analysis. Learners will converse with various stakeholders to gain an understanding of what a CDR is, the different types of CDRs available,...
Understanding how information on hazards, exposure, and vulnerability can be used to determine the potential impacts of a hydrometeorological event is an essential element of impact-based forecasting. In order to gain that understanding, the learner will be...
This lesson introduces learners to pollution constituent life cycles, air quality observing and modeling principles, weather patterns that induce or exacerbate poor air quality, and human impacts. In the second half of the lesson, learners will apply this...
This training offers an overview of the NOAA Satellite Proving Ground Global Flood Website. The website provides flood extent information useful in numerous applications, including inland and river flooding, tropical storm flooding, dam breaks, ice jam flooding,...
Implementing Impact-based Forecast and Warning Services (IBF) helps improve the understanding of and response to the potential impacts of hydrometeorological hazards by communicating “what the weather will do” rather than “what the weather will be”....
A collection of short (5-7 minutes each) vignettes focused on topics in probabilistic forecasting, including lessons in data distribution and specific probabilistic measures. These lessons can assist forecasters, forecast users, and students with developing...
This advanced lesson provides users with best practices for using GOES-R/16/17 and JPSS satellite products to aid in the forecast process for convective maintenance. The lesson uses a convective case study to help learners understand how to use the products...
Through a series of exercises in this lesson, the learners will discover the state of the science of cloud seeding, including the conceptual model of using silver iodide in wintertime clouds over the mountains. The learners will also determine the factors...
Building partnerships with organizations to support the implementation of Impact-based Forecasting (IBF) Services is critical for the success of the effort. Many organizations have information on the vulnerability and exposure of populations and infrastructure...
We offer many ways to locate training that's relevant to you. Browse by topic area, skill level, or use our search tool. Additionally, we have an extensive image library — a great resource for educators and trainers — accessible by using the search feature.
Courses are collections of lessons pertaining to a specific topic area. Enroll in a course and track your progress. When you've finished, you can send the results to your professor or supervisor.
Research indicates that learners who answer follow-up questions over time retain more of what they learned during training. Booster questions take minutes to complete and come directly to your inbox. You can subscribe to receive them after successfully completing the quiz for a module.
All of our content is completely free, but we do require an account.
The University Course Support resource has newly added the capability to download images and animations from the MetEd lessons.
