[Skywarn] Introduction to Meteorological Charting

[Lloyd Colston]

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson,
"Introduction to Meteorological Charting". More information about this
lesson is available online at
https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_module.php?id=1147. This 30-minute
overview offers an introduction to surface and upper air observations and
how these data are presented on meteorological charts. The lesson examines
how basic charts and analyses can reveal the locations of major weather
features, including areas of high or low pressure as well as fronts.
Examples are provided for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to
compare and contrast the circulations in each part of the world.
Supplemental materials include a series of drill exercises to practice
identifying and coding the 100 present weather types.

The intended audience for Introduction to Meteorological Charting is any
person interested in learning more about weather charts and mapping surface
and upper air observations. The lesson is specifically targeted to
observers wishing to expand their knowledge of the basics of weather
forecasting, but with its broad scope, the material should also appeal to
students and members of the general public.
