Educational

 

  • The Weather Prediction – Weather prediction education by providing information on weather data interpretation and forecasting methods.
  • NOAA/NWS Warning Decision Training Division – Has training for anything involving the warning process at the NWS. Some meteorology background is recommended.
  • Meted – Hundreds of modules/videos covering nearly all aspects of the geosciences provided by UCAR. Great for all levels of knowledge in the field.

 

Rich Thompson is a lead forecaster at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. He has shared his knowledge of tornado forecasting in a 9 part series of videos. Definitely worth the watch.
