New-generation GOES-R and JPSS satellite products offer improved capabilities for detecting and monitoring some of the more subtle elements of winter weather events, including mesoscale banded snowfall. In this lesson learners will investigate an April...
This 15-minute lesson uses GOES-R RGB composites and single channel imagery in combination with numerical weather prediction (NWP) model output for analysis of synoptic scale weather systems. In this lesson, the learner is challenged to use the Air Mass RGB...
The Hydrologic Ensemble Forecast Service (HEFS) is an ensemble river level (or river flow) forecasting service provided by the National Weather Service (NWS). This training comprises three videos that explain what the HEFS is and how to interpret the HEFS...
This lesson provides learners with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with several essential analysis and forecast tools required to perform effectively in their aviation weather roles. This lesson is meant to provide both foundational knowledge about...
The Hydrologic Ensemble Forecast Service (HEFS) is an ensemble streamflow forecasting service provided by the National Weather Service (NWS). This training comprises three videos that explain what the HEFS is and how it works. The first of these videos introduces...
The ability to effectively communicate probabilistic information is an important and growing aspect that the National Weather Service is developing in the workforce. This lesson lets learners practice communicating probabilistic information to the public and...
This lesson highlights products from the National Tsunami Warning Center and Pacific Tsunami Warning Center that provide useful information to forecasters during tsunami events. In this lesson, the learner takes on the role of a weather service coastal forecaster...
Practice decision support related to drought impacts through two scenarios where you are asked to prepare talking points for briefings with stakeholders. These scenarios feature example locations where drought is having a significant impact on communities:...
As heat, wildfires, and other events affect communities, forecasters and others in the weather sector are increasingly called upon to answer questions about climate change. This lesson provides learners with three different scenarios to practice interpreting...
Having accurate water level data ensures that the resulting data products, such as tidal datums, are also accurate. Poor data quality can affect the derived water level products and impact applications such as marsh restoration or coastal engineering. In this...
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.
