Objective Weather Forecasting Techniques and Application of the Forecast Funnel

Start Date:

Aug. 27, 2020

End Date:

Aug. 27, 2020

Region:

Americas

Description:

Newly certified meteorologists often lack the experience of more seasoned weather forecasters, and a methodology on how to analyze the atmosphere and forecast the weather is required. In this training session, using the true and tried methodology of the Forecast Funnel, meteorological forecasters will learn the basics for analyzing the tridimensional structure of atmospheric features and learn objective weather forecasting techniques. This will help develop a work related methodology that would result in higher confidence and more consistent weather forecasts, while emphasizing objective vs. subjective analysis techniques. The sessions will open 15 minutes earlier (at 14:45 UTC for those who want to check their microphone and voice connection). GoToWebinar is used for both images and voice through the Internet.
