2015 Alaska Weather Symposium, 11&12 May 2015

Symposium URL -- https://sites.google.com/a/alaska.edu/aws2015/


11-12 May 2015

Piggybacking with the OCONUS Technical Interchange Meeting held 12-15 May
2015.

University of Alaska Anchorage Aviation Technology Center, Merrill Field

Anchorage, Alaska


The 2015 Alaska Weather Symposium is a forum for the exchange of
operational and research information related to weather in the Alaska
environment.  Participation from academic, research, government, military
and private sectors is encouraged.  Areas of focus are anticipated to be


   -

   Remote sensing of Alaska atmosphere
   -

   Data assimilation
   -

   Air-sea interaction
   -

   Air quality and renewable energy
   -

   Downscaling climate/weather simulations
   -

   Hazardous event forecasting
   -

However, all abstracts relating to weather in Alaska will be welcome.

The week of 11-15 May will begin with the Alaska Weather Symposium.
Sometime in the middle of the day on the 12th, topics will gradually shift
from Alaska Weather towards those of interest to the OCONUS crowd, and
somewhere in here we will end the Alaska Weather Symposium and start the
OCONUS meeting.

Subject: [Skywarn] COMET class in Marine Weather
Message-ID: <CAGeNtEEJ5Q2NrT_D70Zp-T5vMDEgXcrcFR6aczk_=Z=WKsP_bg@mail.gmail.com>

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson,
"Marine Weather Services Incident Response and Decision Support". Oil and
hazardous materials spills along coastlines and in rivers require specific
response and clean-up operations. Environmental factors including weather,
waves, and tides are critical to these operations. To support the incident
response, National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters provide detailed
marine forecasts. This lesson is intended to provide marine forecasters
with an overview of what happens during a spill and the types of weather
and seas information that stakeholders need. The lesson uses the 2014 Texas
City "Y" spill in the Galveston Bay to provide examples of a spill timeline
as well as effective decision support products for communicating
information to responders.

The intended audience for Marine Weather Services Incident Response and
Decision Support is any operational forecaster who may be tasked with
providing briefings or other information to support incident response
efforts. Please follow this link to the MetEd description page that
provides additional information and a link to begin the lesson:

Services Incident Response and Decision Support</a>.

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the release of a Satellite Water
Vapour Interpretation -- Short Course. This course consists of five
self-paced lessons, in four topic areas, 3D Thinking, Vorticity,
Deformation Zones, and Conveyor Belts. Each lesson contains
forecast-relevant exercises to help users directly apply this knowledge in
the office, field, or classroom. These materials are also relevant to
students in meteorological dynamics classes allowing them to apply
meteorological theory and equations to actual atmospheric examples.



The course can be taken in either English or French and required 3-5 hours
to complete.
