The COMET Program
is publishing an online textbook titled, "Introduction to Tropical
Meteorolgoy". The chapters are coming out over time. Below
is the newest are previously released chapters.
NOTE
TO NWS and other NOAA EMPLOYEES: This module is available in the
NWS Learning Center (https://doc.learn.com/noaa/nws).
Please access it in that system in order to get credit.
New - Chapter 5 - Tropical
Variability The
chapter covers sources of intraseasonal, interannual, and decadal variability in the tropics.
COMET Program Webcasts:
1) "NWP Workshop on WRF and NAEFS",
2) "Advanced Satellite Sounding: The Benefits of the Hyperspectral
Observation" and 3) "Introduction to Statistics for
Climatology".
'Chapter 10, Tropical Cyclones',
The new content covers: - Global distribution
and monitoring of tropical cyclones, -
Three-dimensional structure and flow balances, Tropical
cyclogenesis, Intensity, including potential intensity, environmental
factors,
and more.
COMET Program publication of "North
Wall Effects
on Winds and Waves". A three-hour module that
explores the high wind and wave events that occur
along the north edge of warm, fast, western
boundary
currents, such as the Gulf Stream off the mid-Atlantic states of the U.S. and the Kuroshio Current near
Japan and Taiwan. Using three different case studies,
this module explores the relationships between
atmospheric stability, winds, waves, and ocean currents during North Wall events.
