Welcome the Weather Classroom.
I am always looking for informative and interesting topics and
decided to add some of the best I have found. This classroom is divided into 3 main
courses.
| |
|
|
|
Basic
Meteorology |
Each module deals with a different weather phenomena and
includes definitions, images and examples to fully understand the processes
involved. Most of the modules are for all ages but I have included a section for
elementary school kids. These are graphically-intense modules but well worth the
time! |

Radar
Images |
Covers a multitude of areas including how these devices send
out and receive signals providing valuable information about the location and intensity of
precipitation, advanced Doppler radar technology to provide high resolution reflectivity
and estimated velocity data, which is vital to short term forecasting and severe weather
prediction. |

Satellite Images |
Examine weather satellites and their capabilities in greater
detail, focusing on two satellite orbital groups in particular; Geostationary Operational
Environmental Satellites (GOES) and Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES) and how
to interpret visible, infrared and water vapor channel satellite images. |
All of these modules and sections are provide by:
from the University of Illinois WW2010 Project.
