DESCRIPTION

This training is related to:

    Meteorology
    Software/hardware

This training is intended for:

    Self-paced training


Topics:

    Radar

Subject of the material:

I have put together a locally adapted training package that essentially converts 'UCP Proficiency' to that of the 'ORPG.' The materials used in this package were produced by WDTB and others, I just put it all together to decide what I wanted to cover locally. The training lasts about 8.5 hours and is a mix of CD-ROM, web-based material and some topical readings that I have assigned (not given) on hydrometeorological optimization of the WSR-88D (via. the algorithms, clutter etc..). You will not find the proficiency exam nor the handouts (which are available from me upon request).

Location(s):

    Generic

Format(s):

    Web Material
    Hard Copy

Length or estimated time for completion: 8.5 hours including exam
