Yes. It was very much informative and it give me a better understanding in the area.

great module, severe weather on radar, my favourite!

Thank you : ) It's enjoyable.

When you have completed these case studies you should be able to:

• Apply conceptual models of weather phenomena to interpret radar imagery
• Describe aviation hazards associated with specific weather phenomena
• Identify locations likely to be affected by mesoscale convective systems and heavy rainfall using radar imagery

December 31, 2013: This update adds a fourth case study, Hurricane Georges to the lesson. The case focuses on the storm as it moved over the islands of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola on 21-22 September 1998. The case study highlights the importance of radar imagery in diagnosing the intensity of convective rainfall and the effects of terrain. The availability of radar data from research aircraft provides a more detailed view of the reflectivity and wind fields induced by complex terrain over Hispaniola.
