Subject: [Cometupdates] New from COMET: Topics in Dynamic Meteorology:
Pressure Gradient Force
To: announce at comet.ucar.edu


The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of a new
learning object on Pressure Gradient Force, the first of a series of
short, self-contained learning objects covering foundational concepts
in dynamic meteorology. As a learning object, it is meant to be used
to supplement other teaching material in a meteorology course by
elucidating a specific concept. This particular learning object
presents an interactive view of an idealized surface map allowing the
student to adjust pressures on either side of the map and examine
accelerations produced in response. The focus is on the horizontal
pressure gradient force. Three brief examples with questions are also
provided to reinforce key concepts.

Please follow this link to the MetEd description page that provides
additional information and a link to begin: Topics in Dynamic
Meteorology: Pressure Gradient Force
(https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_module.php?id=1024)

This publication is part of what will become a set of learning objects
collected under the broader classification of "Topics in Dynamic
Meteorology."

Most COMET products use JavaScript and Adobe® Flash® for navigation,
animation, and/or presentation of multimedia elements. Ensure that you
have a browser updated to its latest version with JavaScript enabled
and the latest version of the Adobe FlashPlayer installed
(http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/). For technical support for this
module please visit our Registration and Support FAQs at

We welcome any comments or questions you may have regarding the
content, instructional approach, or use of this learning object.
Please e-mail your comments or questions to Dave Linder
