Given the large variety of satellite products, it's important to understand how specific products can help forecasters improve their observation, analysis, and assessment of wind-related hazards in marine and coastal environments. This training focuses...
As sea levels rise and the frequency of coastal flooding increases, the need to forecast and plan for these events is growing. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Annual High Tide Flooding Outlook shows users where and when...
The ability to communicate your forecast to different individuals and groups is an important skill to develop and continue practicing. In aviation this is especially important as airplanes help with the transport of goods, services, and individuals. The...
This short training provides an overview of current satellite capabilities for ocean color (which platforms and instruments, and spatial and temporal resolutions). Four videos, each focused on a specific application, highlight examples of products able to...
This lesson introduces aviation forecasters to the impact of low-level wind shear and low-level turbulence on aviation functions within the US National Airspace System (NAS) and how National Weather Service (NWS) programs coordinate the production of relevant...
As sea levels rise and the frequency of coastal flooding increases, the need to forecast and plan for these events is growing. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Monthly High Tide Flooding Outlook shows users where and when...
We offer many ways to locate training that's relevant to you. Browse by topic area, skill level, or use our search tool. Additionally, we have an extensive image library — a great resource for educators and trainers — accessible by using the search feature.
Courses are collections of lessons pertaining to a specific topic area. Enroll in a course and track your progress. When you've finished, you can send the results to your professor or supervisor.
Research indicates that learners who answer follow-up questions over time retain more of what they learned during training. Booster questions take minutes to complete and come directly to your inbox. You can subscribe to receive them after successfully completing the quiz for a module.
