Elevate your analysis and forecasting capabilities in challenging high-latitude and polar regions with this rapid, focused training on how the Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), aboard JPSS polar-orbiting satellites (S-NPP, NOAA-20, -21), effectively fills the crucial void left by limited geostationary views. Brought to you by NOAA JPSS.
Apply your scientific skills alongside workplace power skills as you grapple with decision-making, time constraints, and communication to employers and stakeholders in this course designed to help prepare students for private sector employment in the Weather, Water, and Climate enterprise. Supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 22377520.
Develop your understanding of physical meanings of several commonly used polarimetric radar variables, including differential reflectivity, correlation coefficient, differential phase, specific differential phase, and linear depolarization, in this course on the basic principles of dual-pol weather radar. Supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2303654.
Hone your science and media literacy skills in this course by evaluating social media posts and news headlines about severe weather storms. This course is designed to introduce undergraduate students to everyday applications of scientific thinking and does not require a background in meteorology. Supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF Award #1945286).
Apply the 10 steps of the Dvorak technique to obtain a reliable estimate of a tropical cyclone's intensity as you work through a simple real-world case study with various types of satellite imagery while being guided by an expert from the National Hurricane Center. Brought to you by NOAA.
Learn how to create a thunderstorm by setting just the right combinations of humidity, surface temperature, and upper-tropospheric temperature ingredients needed for a severe storm to develop in this interactive course. Supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF Award 1945286).
Understand the benefits, limitations, and caveats of the NOAA/NESDIS Snowfall Rate (SFR) Product and its Conterminous US (CONUS) counterpart Merged Snowfall Rate (mSFR) Product to help fill radar imagery data gaps for data-sparse regions in this lesson. Brought to you by NOAA.
