I find these courses and lessons to be just what I need to learn the material to the best of my ability. I strongly encourage anyone interested in meteorology and/or forecasting to take as many courses as possible.

This is the best learning platform for university students because it contains extra information which a person cannot easily access

The quiz questions seemed to be not well aligned with the main thrust of the content.

This was a good lesson with less need to have an understanding of physics and mathematical formulas. Look for the glossary icon, it is comprehensive but not easily searched - have to scroll through it which takes time!

During the quiz, the question in regards to "which of the following aviation hazards may result from slope and valley winds?", was a little misleading in regards to answers, or rather in regards to the "best answer". It just seemed that it was a bit dubious in the idea of "choose ALL that apply", since they all do apply, but evidently selecting "all" is not correct.

Good recap. Useful for mountaineering.

Concise and informative material on Mountain/Valley Breezes and Up- and Down-slope winds. Easy to understand, with appropriate, useful examples. I would recommend it especially to undergraduate students of Meteorology.

Terminal Objectives By the end of this module you will be able to do the following: 1. Describe how, why, when, and where mountain/valley breezes occur. 2. List the forecast concerns and aviation hazards associated with mountain/valley breezes. Enabling Objectives By the end of this module you will be able to do the following: 1. Describe when and where mountain/valley breezes form, including their diurnal cycle. 2. List the forecast concerns and aviation hazards associated with mountain/valley breezes. 3. Describe the processes that lead to slope winds. 4. Describe how topography may affect mountain/valley breezes. 5. Describe how satellite imagery can assist in detecting mountain/valley breezes.
