To: announce at comet.ucar.edu


The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of a new
module, "Space Weather Impacts on Aviation." As the anticipated 2013
solar maximum nears, space weather events are likely to affect radio,
navigation, and other systems on Earth more frequently. This 1.5-hour
module examines the effects of solar flares, coronal mass ejections,
and other solar phenomena on aviation operations. The module gives
forecasters and others an overview of the information and products
available from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) and
provides practice interpreting and using those products for aviation
decision support.

The intended audience for "Space Weather Impacts on Aviation" includes
aviation meteorologists colocated with Air Traffic Control Centers as
well as any operational forecasters tasked with providing guidance for
aviation operations. The material familiarizing the learner with
different space weather impacts will also be of interest to anyone
curious about the interactions of solar emissions with Earth.

Please follow this link to the MetEd description page that provides
additional information and a link to begin the module: Space Weather
