From colstonl at gmail.com Tue Jan 3 15:05:35 2017 From: colstonl at gmail.com (Lloyd Colston) Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2017 14:05:35 -0600 Subject: [Skywarn] COMET training Message-ID: The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson, "Forecasting Mountain Wave Turbulence for Aviation ". Turbulent flow that impacts aviation can be caused by several different factors and can occur at both low and high-levels in the atmosphere. This lesson focuses on forecasting mountain wave turbulence. Its methodology relies on the spatial and temporal distribution of winds, stability, and clouds to forecast and verify mountain wave turbulence. Analyzed forecast products include NWP charts, cross sections and soundings, satellite imagery, RAOBs, PIREPS, and graphical turbulence guidance (GTG). The intended audience for Forecasting Mountain Wave Turbulence for Aviation is NWS forecasters. The lesson should also appeal to other aviation forecasters, as well as students. The module briefly reviews background concepts, but largely relies on the COMET lesson Mountain Waves and Downslope Winds for prerequisite conceptual material. 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 Alan Bol (alanbol AT ucar.edu).
