Loved this course. It was easy to understand and was straight to the point.

johnoliver83 2018-08-10 23:17:58

more in depth. more detailed better break down

É relevante para o aprendizado de mesoescala.

This introductory level course in mesoscale meteorology is very well put together, and is easily understandable.

Beaney89 2018-06-11 08:52:54

very good and informative lesson.

CraigMcIntosh 2018-06-04 20:32:38

A nice, basic introduction to the importance of smaller scale features affecting forecasting.

Great Lesson

Ruloco 2018-04-29 23:03:55

Very good! but you should improve the data display, in order to make it more "user-friendly"

This Lesson helped me a lot to understand the Definition of the mesoscale.

it was good for a basic lesson

This was my very first course. It was fine, although it was hard to tell which content would be important for the quiz. Some answers to quiz questions seemed somewhat buried in the content.

very helpful material to study with.

MetStudent83 2018-02-19 07:44:22

Generally speaking the information is not summarized well and does not lend itself to a practical nature. This lesson, even when memorized, still makes itself very difficult to apply to test questions and vice versa. Would like to see better and more general explanations of the definitions in the lesson before any specifics are given.

This was a very helpful introduction to the meaning of mesoscale and helps me to differentiate mesoscale from synoptic meteorology for a storm chaser like me.

wtvisser 2017-07-31 08:23:33

The quiz did not test understanding of the lesson, instead just tests whether specific elements could be remembered (one could even look it up). I would prefer the questions to be different (more abstract / not copied / case study).

nrehm 2017-07-24 16:45:43

not designed well to retain so much information.

Wenjonesy 2017-07-15 19:27:57

This had everything but sound. It was great

Good basic overview.

good lesson for beginners and those who are new to the world of Weather

Good overview for a beginner.

rjwrenn1989 2014-04-24 12:17:42

Information is very easy to understand. However, the module is very basic and I would not recommend to experienced forecasters.

djungkuntz 2013-01-23 22:08:47

For a beginner such as myself, this module was a solid introduction to Mesoscale definitions. The format and information is very easy to understand and the combination of terms and diagrams helps communicate terms and concepts successfully. I recommend this module for others.

Terminal Objectives By the end of this module you should be able to do the following: 1. Identify and classify mesoscale weather phenomena 2. Identify the NWP model characteristics required to forecast different mesoscale weather phenomena. Enabling Objectives By the end of this module you will be able to do the following: 1. Recall the horizontal and time scales of mesoscale-alpha, mesoscale-beta, and mesoscale-gamma weather phenomena. 2. Given a list of weather phenomena, correctly classify them as either mesoscale-alpha, mesoscale -beta, or mesoscale -gamma 3. Describe hydrostatic balance. 4. Recall why non-hydrostatic processes are so important to mesoscale meteorology? 5. Recall the relationship between mesoscale and synoptic scale NWP models. 6. Describe the relationship between grid spacing and model resolution for NWP models. 7. Correctly estimate the NWP model resolution required to accurately simulate several mesoscale weather phenomena, including topographically forced weather, development of fog and low stratus, and development of convective storms.
