Great lesson

One of your questions has the user answer based on a set of METARs from KSMF. The next question has a follow-up using METARs from the same location, but the METARs are COMPLETELY different than the ones from the previous question (perhaps from a different month?). In any event, this makes the question almost impossible to answer accurately because the user doesn't know to answer based on the initial list of METARs given or the ones from the different date. Might wanna fix that...

It would be nice to have some practice or quizzes throughout the module.

Quite hard.

I work as a forecaster in Germany. Climate conditions and the style of the TAFs are in Europe somewhat different. So the lesson was a little bit difficult and not so useful in parts. But the basics are the same.

thought the quiz was a bit misleading but lesson was helpful

The lesson was quite good for individuals doing aviation forecasting

Having to manually advance to each and every page is tedious. The quiz has too many "choose all that apply" answers.

I think there is a problem with a couple of the quiz questions which caused me to get them wrong. Two questions which were supposed to cover the same event had different data sets which were not consistent with each other i.e. same city, same date, but wind data that didn't match up and data times which didn't match up.

It is excellent tool for learrning but some questions are very tricky and confusing to answer.....I would like to see more direct question

in this lesson advection fog totally related with coastal moisture transportation . If it's sample to warm front passing It might given to people how fog occurs with warm frontal system . And that might be the second best explanation for forming advection fog.

I thought I improved my understanding but made a lot of mistakes in Quiz.

Update the examples as the case studies took place over 15 years ago.

The Lesson didn't match the questions. The lesson did not teach, clearly, to the point that the questions made sense.

Bashir4rl 2017-06-03 08:25:32

It is very educative if one gets the right resource materials to answer the questions.

Knowledge of reading metars should be a prerequisite.

These are great lessons that can be reviewed at any time

1. Describe the differing processes that lead to radiation fog and advection fog
2. State the two key ingredients for the formation of fog or low stratus: increasing moisture in the boundary layer or decreasing boundary layer temperatures.
3. Properly identify which processes are dominating a particular fog or low stratus event. You can do this by:
• Examining the characteristics of the processes involved,
• Examining the low-level factors that are influencing the event, and
• Comparing these to the known characteristics, processes, and factors that distinguish a radiation event from an advective event.
