[Skywarn] Gravity training

[Lloyd Colston]

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson,
"Gravity for Geodesy I: Foundations”.

The first of a two-part series, this 50-60 minute non-narrated interactive
lesson is intended to help professionals with basic science background
better understand the Earth’s gravity field and what causes its variations.
Of particular interest to earth/physical scientists as well as surveying
engineers, this lesson covers Newton’s laws with a focus on Earth’s gravity
field as it applies to geodesy. After a review of the basics of Newtonian
gravitation and gravity, it explores how density, altitude, and latitude
affect gravity.
