In this microlearning resource, learn about the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), used as one method for defining drought. Explore drought characteristics, including duration, severity, and drought return period, and see how these characteristics interact...
View short summaries of projected temperature, precipitation, streamflow, drought, and other changes in a warming climate and their importance for anticipating future water supply and demand. This microlearning resource also highlights the types of impacts...
In this lesson, build your capabilities communicating outlook information in the context of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and its varied influence on sub-seasonal and seasonal climate conditions. Learners will assess the role (and limitations) of La Niña...
This lesson provides several opportunities for the learner to take on the role of a forecaster conversing with a partner about the local extreme heat threat. The learner practices applying the most appropriate heat forecast tool(s) to better understand and...
The National Water Model (NWM) is a hydrologic modeling framework that simulates observed and forecast streamflow, supporting river forecasting operations across the US. NWM services continue to evolve with new and updated services and visualizations. This...
This lesson prepares a hydrologic technician to troubleshoot a streamgage in the field. If a streamgage is reporting bad data or no data, it is crucial that a technician addresses the issue and troubleshoots the gage so that it can start reporting accurate...
This lesson introduces aviation forecasters to the impact of low ceilings and reduced visibility on aviation functions within the US National Airspace System (NAS) and how National Weather Service (NWS) programs coordinate the production of relevant aviation...
GOES-R and JPSS satellite products offer improved capabilities for detecting and monitoring pre-fog conditions in marine environments as well as subsequent fog formation and evolution. Imagery and sounding products are particularly useful for supplementing...
This lesson prepares a hydrologic technician to troubleshoot streamgage data from the office. One of the key responsibilities of a hydrotech is to ensure that accurate data is reported on the web. Troubleshooting from the office is an important skill to develop...
This lesson introduces aviation forecasters to how to interpret, encode and issue Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs). TAFs are a critical product in decisions and flight planning for all aircraft movement and safety, forming the backbone of airport forecast...
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.
