I thought it was informative, but I feel like it's too much information too quick. I feel like it needs to be broken down more and a little more interactive.

ssalis 2018-09-04 09:27:29

A good lesson with basic information about the connection between wind-shear and cell organisation.

eta7miranda 2018-08-16 12:50:57

Try to enhance the lesson with more examples, so it helps to become more clear the explanations

WeatherGuy15 2018-07-14 18:43:58

It was really good I would 100 percent want my friends to take this.

2018-07-09 07:34:54

good

Weathernerd1996 2018-04-30 22:57:43

Great Module and great information regarding convective storms

It was for a grade

woodardjen78 2018-03-05 20:25:20

these quizs and lessons are very interesting

hayesjoseph89 2018-01-23 04:31:59

Awesome.

rpossert 2017-12-20 18:14:39

Well presented topics with good visual teaching aids.

prendek 2017-10-31 21:13:39

Good explanation of cold pool interaction with shear. Great series.

javaid 2017-08-13 13:58:28

fine

navinsinghweather 2017-08-06 17:27:17

This lesson has thorough and clear explanations of shear and its influence on storms. It was very helpful in building my knowledge of meteorological processes.

wtvisser 2017-08-06 07:30:28

Informative

RICROM10 2017-08-02 13:45:19

Very educational , thank you!

kip.bricker@noaa.gov 2017-08-01 22:16:40

The animations visualize the fundamental aspects on the influence of wind shear upon storm strength and evolution.

mahep242 2017-07-29 18:31:31

awesome course

kopfk@uindy.edu 2017-07-13 11:55:11

I believe that this lesson was very useful as a future meteorologist! This lesson will help me to understand why and how trnadoes form, as well as other weather phenomena.

oser1122 2017-07-10 11:23:16

Very good lesson. I would like to see more assessment questions throughout, and for those questions to be different from the quiz questions.

bcom 2017-07-02 18:17:31

I have learnt a lot from this lesson, so wonderful!

niska-arob 2017-05-10 13:00:43

The videos are very helpful to understanding the materials.

bgonch@gmail.com 2017-05-04 21:36:43

excellent module

2017-04-20 10:37:49

It was great!

sgarner 2017-04-18 22:39:30

This course tied in the previous two very well. I feel like I have a much better understanding of the previous concepts now.

KD9CZR 2017-03-22 09:07:30

a helpful course on storm structures and how it wind shear helps or hinders them

donavahn.speers 2017-02-15 12:25:52

Seems relatively difficult without prior severe weather knowledge. Having said that, its a great course for refreshing, or polishing old knowledge.

SS109Penatrator 2017-02-07 18:27:05

well done

VortexStarr 2017-01-19 13:13:49

Very well built and simplified lesson. Easy to learn as well.

lucasgt5mouragt5 2016-10-25 12:30:12

perfect leasson

chip.barrere 2016-09-23 08:09:26

This is a great module for understanding cold pool evolution and sustained convection. It is particularly useful for meteorologists in the Southern Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes regions.

richard.lomire 2014-02-19 15:45:18

It captured what I would think are the most important topics in shear and convection. The graphics within the module make each concept quite easy to understand. The summary at the end is helpful in tying together the concepts mentioned in this module.

reddolphin 2013-05-14 19:00:52

A clear presentation of a complex subject. Liked the embedded FAQs to test and sharpen comprehension on specific points.

Terminal Objectives

By the end of this module you will be able to describe the influence that vertical wind shear has on convective storm behavior

Enabling Objectives

• By the end of this module you will be able to do the following:
• Describe how and where interaction between a thunderstorm outflow (the cold pool) and the environmental wind shear lead to enhanced uplift and formation of new convective cells
• Describe the vertical wind shear conditions that maximize the uplift along the downshear edge of the cold pool
• Describe the origin of updraft tilt in a convective cell
• Describe the different vertical shear characteristics for supercell storms and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs)

wind shear, convection, thunderstorm, cold pool, vorticity, updraft tilt, supercell, MCS, mesoscale convective system, bow echo, squall line
