COMET MetEd

This past Saturday I attended the “Girls Who Chase” Spring Training. I had a blast during this all-day event learning from talented, experienced storm chasers. Their passion for weather reminded me of why I decided to choose this field myself! Thank you COMET MetEd and American Meteorological Society for hosting/sponsoring this wonderful experience. #GWCSpringTraining25

If you provide Earth system science (ESS) learning opportunities at the post-secondary levels or within the workforce, we need your input! ?? Tell us about any learning opportunities that you offer on emerging ESS capabilities — ranging from AI/ML and data management to relationship building, creativity, and more — that are needed in the workplace now and in the future. Help us understand your priorities and any obstacles to providing education, training, and support for these capabilities. Take the survey today: https://lnkd.in/dft_Amt2 #earthsystemscience

Thanks for the helpful list of meteorology education and training resources, Mohammed Khaldi! We also appreciate the shout out.

Want to brush up on aviation weather information and training? You came to the right place! We’re thrilled to present COMET’s Distance Learning for Aviation (DLAC) in a one-stop-shop course package! This all-inclusive DLAC site is the capstone of our 4-year project with the National Weather Service.?? ?? Weather is the leading cause of #weather delays within the U.S. National Airspace. Safe and efficient #aviation operations depend on timely, accurate, and clearly explained weather information and forecasts. DLAC covers key topics of interest for aviation weather support:?? ? Thunderstorms ? Icing ? Turbulence and low-level wind shear ? Low ceilings and visibilities ? Volcanic ash ? Aviation weather tools and techniques? ? Aviation weather observations? ? National Weather Service (NWS) Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) ? NWS Aviation Weather program, products, and services overview View and select these updated #aviationweather lessons at this all-inclusive DLAC site: ?https://lnkd.in/g_DEARjZ

We're so excited about this fantastic training and networking opportunity! We hope to see you there: https://lnkd.in/gQ9Yx7jc

Decision-makers depend on tailored, location-specific forecasts to navigate wildfires and prescribed burns. Whether you’re a National Weather Service operational forecaster, Incident Meteorologist, or someone who uses, interprets, and communicates location-specific forecasts, our new “Tactical Fire Weather Forecasting II” lesson is for you. You’ll work through two simulations to learn how to gather information, prepare a forecast, and craft specific messaging for each incident. ?? Take the lesson here: https://lnkd.in/g6JsHDqz

Happy National Weatherperson’s Day from all of us at COMET! From keeping up with the latest meteorological research and tools, supporting decision makers during severe weather, keeping communities safe 24 x 7 x 365 with impact-based forecasting—and everything in between—we want to thank you for your important work and for allowing us to be a part of your education and training journey. #nationalweatherpersonsday #thankyou #weather

Another American Meteorological Society conference to remember! Being my first conference since moving to Colorado, it was a great opportunity to maintain connections and friendships from undergrad while also meeting new students and professionals. A few highlights from the week: ?Student conference storm chasing training with Girls Who Chase’s Jennifer Walton, Dr. Robin Tanamachi, and COMET MetEd. ? The fourth AMS Women’s Workshop highlighting the experiences of women in the field of meteorology and related sciences, which also marked my first time as a panelist! ?A successful and engaging AMS Women’s luncheon! Women and allies had the opportunity to network, share experiences, and be creative within a safe and inviting environment. ? My oral presentation of work completed during summer 2024 in the NSF UCAR SOARS program: “Assessment of Time-Lagged, Medium-Range, High-Resolution Ensemble Forecasts of Extreme Precipitation Events”. I am beyond grateful for all the opportunities I have had through various organizations represented at the conference and for those that supported me in any way. I look forward to seeing what 2025 will bring!
