Regional and Mesoscale Meteorology Branch

Introduction:

This training session will build on data fusion methodologies from the Data Fusion section of the WOC Severe Course (updated in FY21). We will apply these data fusion concepts to a sting jet event that impacted the Monterey Bay area of California on 21 March 2023.   Data fusion techniques are applied to a warning decision making scenario for a special marine warning and severe thunderstorm warning.

Training Session Options:

NOAA/NWS students – to begin the training, use the web-based video, YouTube video, or audio playback options below (if present for this session). Certificates of completion for NOAA/NWS employees can be obtained by accessing the session via the Commerce Learning Center.

• Web-based video
