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 U.S. National Weather Service frequently uses probabilistic information in their forecast, and information from a probabilistic forecast varies widely. Being able to understand and apply probabilistic data will allow meteorologists to communicate confidence...
The learner is presented several small case examples to assess the capabilities of three Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) products: Flash Extent Density (FED), Minimum Flash Area (MFA), and Total Optical Energy (TOE). Throughout the examples the learner...
Rip currents account for the majority of the over 100 surf zone fatalities that occur in the United States every year and significant advancements have been made in the ability to forecast them. This lesson updates an earlier version released in 2012 and provides...
As a tropical cyclone undergoes extratropical transition, forecasters are challenged by how to effectively communicate information when the product headline changes from tropical to non-tropical. To minimize confusion, it is important for forecasters to collaborate...
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”....
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.
