La lección
S-290 Unidad 7: sistemas de vientos presenta y describe los vientos generales y locales y sus procesos. La lección incluye información detallada sobre ciertos aspectos críticos del viento en relación con la meteorología de incendios, incluidos los vientos frontales, los vientos foehn y vientos de las tormentas, así como sus efectos en los incendios rurales. La lección describe asimismo los efectos de la topografía en los vientos y brinda pautas para estimar los vientos según el lugar y el amparo de combustibles. Esta lección forma parte del curso intermedio S-290 sobre el comportamiento de los incendios en zonas despobladas (
Intermediate Wildland Fire Behavior Course ).

On occasion, the photos are vague and difficult to label. Also, two of the questions in the course; determining anemometer speed by using the sum of the upper and ground level speeds wasn't discussed until after I missed the question. Good class though.

This lesson contained A LOT of information that is relevant and important but because it is all mashed together in a mega-lesson, it is hard to focus on all the details and really nail down the concepts. It would be better to split this lesson up or have additional review questions that nail down definitions and major take-aways.

Poor examples and or videos. One such quiz example shows avery hard to read fire whirl.

I don't like the change in format of the 1 2 3 4 tabs along the top of the lesson window. It is a different format than all the other pages, and makes it really easy to mill entire pages and a large chunk of material. I would prefer if all those tabs were organized along the left side of the screen like every other screen.
