[Skywarn] New Tropical Weather training

[Lloyd Colston]

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson,
"Storm Surge and Datums”. This lesson provides a brief overview of what a
vertical datum is and the types of datums used to observe and forecast
storm surge.  It also discusses how to interpret storm surge forecasts
appropriately using these datums. The lesson will take .5 hour to complete
(not including the quiz).

The intended audience for "Storm Surge and Datums" includes forecasters in
the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean, emergency managers, and others with
general interest in tropical cyclone storm surge. National Weather Service
forecast offices could also use the module in their training programs in
preparation for hurricane season.  Please follow this link to the MetEd
description page that provides additional information and the link to begin

It is better to be informed than it is to be afraid.
