More Information » Monitoring Harmful Algal Blooms and Sargassum with Satellite Products Sargassum and Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are both algae that can cause significant disruptions to coastal communities. These disruptions include negative impacts on human health, tourism, fishing, navigation and coastal ecosystems. The integration of satellite... More Information » Math for Weather and Climate: Interactive Tool for Divergence and Vorticity The weather and climate are interpreted, modeled, and predicted through math. However, connecting the meteorology with the math is often challenging for learners. This interactive tool helps the learner to explore the math involved in two key concepts in weather... More Information » Monitoring Water Levels with the NOAA Coastal Inundation Dashboard As sea levels change, the need to identify ongoing or forecasted coastal flooding is growing with the increased frequency of flooding. The NOAA Coastal Inundation Dashboard is a tool that informs the user about historical, current, and forecast water-levels,... More Information » Mesoanalysis Challenge: Monitoring Atmospheric Stability This 10-minute lesson highlights the use of the GOES-R Day Cloud Phase Distinction (DCPD) RGB to assess atmospheric stability and implications for convective development. This lesson addresses the following primary performance components from the WMO Competency... More Information » Freezing Spray Science Freezing spray is a common cold season hazard that can lead to dangerous impacts for vessels and objects in the water. Freezing spray can be hazardous in both the open ocean or in freshwater, such as on the Great Lakes. The lesson covers the necessary background... More Information » Freezing Spray Communication In this lesson the learner will need to use their knowledge of freezing spray forecasting when appropriately communicating freezing spray warnings and associated impacts to users. Impact-based Decision Support Services (IDSS) are forecast advice and interpretive... More Information » Evaluate the Temporal Evolution of Weather Risk Forecasting and communicating the impacts of severe weather events can save lives. In this learning simulation, learners focus on monitoring and evaluating how the weather risk evolves over time as the hazardous event moves closer to impacting a region. The... More Information » Applied NWP Course: Probabilistic Weather Scenarios The amount of statistical data you receive as a meteorologist can be overwhelming, even when you are familiar with statistics and data distribution characteristics. All solutions produced by NWP should be considered plausible, but some solutions are more probable...
