This course was recommend by a soaring magazine and I did find it useful for my flying. It gives a good quick view of how meteorological instruments are used and the errors that can occur in them. While not done in great depth, the graphics were sharp and the writing very clear. I would also recommend it for anyone interested in this field.

excellent online training site

It is an eye opener to us users and weather people

I learn more

I'm a meteorologist. Found MetEd site just few weeks ago. This is the first lesson I complete and it is really interesting. I've been provided with additional informations to what I already knew. Observation is the first step and basis in weather studies and at this level Instrumentation and measurement is the key. Solid foundation in this field is crucial for a professional like me.

This was a useful lesson, however, it could have been somewhat clearer.

Fun

GOOD SOLID MATERIAL. MORE EXPOSITION AND REPETITION OF MORE COMPLEX MATERIAL WOULD HAVE IMPROVED COMPREHENSION.

Very informative. Especially well suited for someone who is contemplating ma career or internship into this field.

Linguistic problems to understant exaxtly what is ment in quiz questions.

Overall a very good lesson. I would like to see a few more videos with either narration or lecture audio. Balancing reading, interactive tools and multimedia content are the best way to learn, reaching across both active and passive learning strategies.

Hi, this lesson is mind opener! there are science (complex) but explainable to a layman and which can be understood. The phobia for this science lie on lack of such good educational materials developed by talented person. Difficult things can be understood. Thanking the team.

I recommend this lesson to all Aeronautical Meteorological Forecasters

This lesson was helpful to me because some of the uses of istruments and what they measure, and also descriptions of weather parameters we tend to forget them easily.

As always, excellent course offering.

very informative course

Great introduction, now I got a better understanding of what I need to learn next.

MotherEarth 2017-05-05 16:20:09

Clearly presented and very informative. I will look forward to other modules

I hated your new system at first but now that I had some time in using it and working with it. I like it. Thanks for coding it.

• Identify types of meteorological observing systems such as in-situ, remote sensing, and airborne
• Identify basic technological elements of an instrument
• Differentiate between types of measurements such as direct and indirect, and remote and in-situ measurements
• Describe different types of meteorological variables to be measured, such as temperature, pressure, humidity, winds, clouds, precipitation, trace gases
• Explain the operational characteristics of an instrument such as design convenience, reliability, stability, durability, and cost
• Identify the key elements of observational representativeness including temporal and spatial (microscale, local scale, mesoscale, large scale, planetary scale) scales of phenomena, and measurement capability
• Identify site selection considerations in terms of matching instrumentation and measurement strategies
• Describe instrument and measurement uncertainty and the factors that are used to assess systematic and random errors, and the propagation of errors
