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...
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.
