SHyMet for Forecasters Development Plan
Jeff Braun
New Developmet Plan (LMS) available!
This is the forecaster track of the Satellite Hydrology and Meteorology (SHyMet) Course (similar in structure, but exanding on or covering different subjects than the intern version of SHyMet) will cover satellite imagery interpretation, including feature identification, water vapor channels and what to expect on future satellites. There is a session on remote sensing applications for hydrometeorology, this includes uses of remote sensing data for operational hydrology. There is also a session on aviation hazards such as volcanic ash, fog, dust etc. Other topics include an understanding of the Dvorak method in tropical cyclone analysis and the utility of cloud climatologies in forecasting.
