[Skywarn] COMET training

[Lloyd Colston]

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson,
"Forecasting Mountain Wave Turbulence for Aviation
<https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_module.php?id=1262>". 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.
