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.
The need for strategic planning around smoke impacts to communities has grown as the length of the fire season and frequency of wildland fires have increased. NWS meteorologists are frequently asked how smoke may affect air quality, aviation operations, and...
This lesson introduces aviation forecasters to the impact of thunderstorms on aviation functions within the US National Airspace System (NAS) and to how National Weather Service (NWS) programs coordinate the production of relevant aviation thunderstorm forecast...
The National Blend of Models (NBM) is a critical component of forecasting in the National Weather Service (NWS) that uses different statistical techniques to produce numerical weather prediction data. There are many different probabilistic products that are...
In this lesson, learners will interpret scatterometer wind data and apply their knowledge of scatterometry to analyze and diagnose weather features. Learners will further integrate this information alongside other available satellite and NWP datasets from...
In this short vignette, you will learn about the different National Blend of Models (NBM) snowfall products available in v4.0/4.1 and some of the caveats associated with them. These products include Snow Amount (SnowAmt), Snow-to-liquid Ratio (SLR), and Snow...
This lesson describes the basics of scatterometers, including how they work, what they measure, and how scatterometer wind estimates are derived. It then discusses some of the challenges inherent in using the wind estimates, such as dealing with ambiguities...
This short lesson uses GOES-R red-green-blue (RGB) composites in combination with numerical weather prediction (NWP) model output for analysis of nighttime fog. In this lesson, the learner is challenged to use the Nighttime Microphysics RGB, 2-m relative humidity,...

Developed and hosted by NASA's Short-term Prediction, Research, and Transition (SPoRT) program, this training serves as a reference for NASA SPoRT’s stream height forecast product. The product is derived from a machine learning (ML) model where inputs to...
This 45-minute lesson begins with an overview on the importance of building partnerships and understanding partner needs prior to the wildfire season. Then, the learner takes on the role of a forecaster conversing with two different partners to understand...

Tide and water level datums are standard elevations used to reference water level heights and depths. Each type of datum represents a unique phase or behavior of the water along the coast or in the Great Lakes. CO-OPS and its partners are currently in the...
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.
