The safety and comfort of those who venture
out-on-the water have always been weather dependent. In this course
students will become keener observers of the weather, but weather
observations only have meaning in the context of the basic principles
of meteorology — the science of the atmosphere. The course focuses
on how weather systems form, behave, move, and interact with one
another and reflects the availability of all sorts of weather reports
and forecasts on the Internet. Wx2008 is a general weather course
benefiting those sitting in their living rooms, as much as those
standing behind the helm. Each student receives:
-
a Weather Manual - USPS Weather
- an explanatory text with full color photographs and drawings covering
weather in the United States and its coastal and inland waters;
-
a
set of three Daily Weather Maps - learning aids with a compete
explanation of map symbols designed to develop weather map reading and
analysis skills; and
-
NOAA’s Sky Watcher Chart - a reference to assist in identifying cloud types – helpful indicators of approaching weather.
Wx2012 is designed to be conducted over ten classroom sessions, but each instructor will determine the pace of the course. The Weather Course is Scheduled to begin: Monday 12 Oct 2015 @ 7:30pm For more information contact:
