Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR)
To: announce at comet.ucar.edu


Greetings,

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson,
"Introduction to Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR)." The lesson
provides information about the benefits and uses of AMDAR, an
aircraft-based observing system coordinated through the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO). The content is organized into three
sections, focused on the meteorological applications of AMDAR, the aviation
applications of the data, and additional information about the systems and
requirements for AMDAR implementation. Several experts offer interviews
describing examples of AMDAR use in numerous meteorological and aviation
applications.

The intended audience for "Introduction to Aircraft Meteorological Data
Relay (AMDAR)" includes meteorological service managers and providers,
observational development groups, the aviation industry, and others
interested in benefiting from an aircraft-based observing system in their
region. With its broad scope, the lesson should appeal to anyone interested
in learning more about the AMDAR program, the observations it provides, and
how the data are used. Please follow this link to the MetEd description
page that provides additional information and a link to begin the lesson:
