lessons are very useful specially for those stating in met-forecasting

Great learning tool. real life issued. A good program

Good overview course for the topic if you've never supported EM operations before. Course length is not overly long; highly encourage taking it.

Hurricane season started a month ago, and I live in North Carolina. Information and Knowledge is Power and somewhat comforting. Ex Scientia, Tridens.

Great module with a great use of a case study.

This was informative, and straightforward.

Gives RFC a perspective on what the WFO does during a flash flood emergency.........

DrAndrewMC 2018-06-21 07:14:47

A very good lesson to take with lots of good information.

Very good information corning tropical cyclones.

Overall this was a decent course, especially for coastal offices that don't deal with tropical events too often. For offices that have been through tropical events similar to Bill, Harvey, etc., more advanced training is needed. Also, additional training on the borderline events is also needed. The examples used in this module were good, but the decisions made were relatively easy compared to borderline events. Lastly, we need more training on the flash flood emergencies, as well as how to handle tight gradients and precipitation forecasts from track changes.

For any student interested in climatology especially those candidates in the tropical regions, this is useful lesson.

This is a good lesson to better understand Local Tropical Cyclone Precipitation Forecasting and Communication

Great module.

• Explain how TC characteristics (track, intensity, forward speed) and terrain can affect TC precipitation distribution and magnitude.
• Explain the importance of antecedent conditions when determining TC flood potential.
• Assess the heavy rain potential and identify the areas most likely to be affected.
  • Determine the potential flooding rain impacts of a TC upon a WFO’s local area of responsibility.
• Derive an appropriate flash flood and/or river flood message for societal response.
• Describe situations when a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY should be issued.
• Coordinate/collaborate TC rainfall forecasts with WPC, RFCs, and other WFOs (via NWSChat, phone, etc.).
