[Skywarn] Self-paced traing

[Lloyd Colston]

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new
self-paced distance learning course entitled NWP Essentials
https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_course.php?id=46. The course consists
of five lessons adapted from COMET's NWP Basics and Background  course:

    1.    NWP and Forecasting
    2.    NWP Essentials: Structure and Dynamics
    3.    NWP Essentials: Data Assimilation
    4.    NWP Essentials: Model Physics
    5.    NWP Essentials: Precipitation and Clouds

In order to keep up with the constant change in numerical models,
meteorologists need a solid understanding of the basic building blocks of
model systems, such as dynamics, physics, and assimilation. This course
will enable learners to adapt to future model changes and use model
guidance intelligently when forecasting the weather. The lessons in this
course were created in collaboration with the Australian Bureau of
Meteorology and include Southern and Northern Hemisphere examples. The
course will take between 6 and 7.5 hours to complete (not including the
quizzes). In addition to Australian meteorologists, forecasters around the
world will benefit from the availability of these lessons.

We welcome any comments or questions you may have regarding the content,
instructional approach, or use of this lesson. Please e-mail your comments
or questions to Tsvet Ross-Lazarov (tlazarov at ucar.edu).
