This 45-minute lesson introduces the learner to the 2018 Spring Creek Fire burn scar in Colorado and the assets threatened by potential flooding and debris flow events in the area. Next, the learner takes on the role of a forecaster exploring three different...
This lesson prepares a hydrologic technician for a typical day at work. This includes office work such as examining hydrographs of stage, discharge and battery voltage as well as looking at local weather reports. It also includes field work such as a routine...
This lesson prepares a hydrologic technician to complete a streamflow control inspection during a site visit. This includes identifying the control type, control condition, distance from the control to the gage, control cleaning and documenting additional...
This lesson prepares a hydrologic technician for a site visit to a streamgage experiencing low water. Low water conditions may lead to fouling or burial of a bubbler orifice and algal growth. Reference gage readings and discharge measurements frequently require...
This lesson introduces aviation forecasters to the impact of turbulence on aviation functions within the US National Airspace System (NAS) and how National Weather Service (NWS) programs coordinate the production of relevant aviation turbulence forecast products. In...
Coastal water levels rise and fall for many reasons, including tides and other environmental factors. Inundation occurs when water levels rise above the land surface elevation. Inundation events can flood coastal infrastructure, erode coastal defenses, and...

Developed and hosted by NASA's Short-term Prediction, Research, and Transition (SPoRT) program, this training series highlights multiple red-green-blue (RGB) composite imagery products introduced during the GOES-R (GOES-16/17/18) era. These include the Nighttime...
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...
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.
