Summary

Abstract: The MetEd (Meteorology Education and Training) Website was established to provide education and training resources to benefit the operational forecaster community, university atmospheric scientists and students, and anyone interested in learning more deeply about meteorology and weather forecasting topics. The site houses online learning materials, as well as information on other training and education activities, such as classroom courses and teletraining, and links to other related resources. MetEd is populated and maintained by the COMET Program, which is part of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's (UCAR's) Office of Programs (UOP). The MetEd Website is made possible by the sponsors of the COMET Program.
