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).
