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...
This lesson addresses the role of climate conditions in setting the background for weather events that, while potentially not extreme on their own, can create a situation requiring decision support and impacts messaging. The scenario follows a warm spring...
This lesson introduces forecasters to the use of microwave image products for observing and analyzing tropical cyclones. Microwave observations from low Earth orbiting satellites are crucial to today’s operational forecasters, and particularly for those...
This lesson places learners at a forecast desk in Vancouver, British Columbia as they forecast the potential for a reduced air quality event. Forecast emphasis is placed on synoptic, mesoscale, and microscale features and the role features at these scales...
This 45-minute lesson highlights GOES-R and JPSS satellite products that can provide useful information to forecasters during heavy rainfall scenarios. In this lesson, the learner takes on the role of a forecaster working a shift during a potential heavy rainfall...
Coastal water levels rise and fall for many reasons, including the rhythm of the tides and other factors. People measure water levels for many purposes, including safe navigation, marsh restoration, coastal mapping, and monitoring sea level change. Management...
Wildland Firefighters rely on accurate weather forecasts to plan their operations. Weather forecasters in the NWS are frequently called upon to provide spot forecasts to firefighters, particularly before a fire reaches a size that warrants an Incident Meteorologist....
The National Blend of Models version 4.0 (NBM v4.0) uses a modified Bourgouin technique to calculate a conditional probability of weather type (PoWT). This lesson explains conditional probability and the modified Bourgouin method, as well as the Freezing Rain...
NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides the framework for all positioning activities in the nation. The foundational elements of latitude, longitude, elevation, and shoreline information impact a wide range of important activities. Our primary end-users...
This training package on Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) consists of four 4-6 minute video trainings and one 20-minute interactive lesson. The videos will focus on the reason that FIM is a necessity, and the two FIM services available with NWM: 1) the NWM FIM...
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.
