Net Control Training (radar interp)

[John Cameron]

My local group has asked me to develop a training program for Net Control Operators on RADAR interpretation. While I know RADAR 101 like the back of my hand, I don't really want to build a powerpoint slide show from scratch if the resources or training modules already exist and are public domain.

Just imagery alone would be half the battle for me. Any help will be greatly appreciated

I produced a GRLevel3 and spotternetwork integration training last spring working with another local spotter. The presentation is at the bottom of the page here:

Another thing to think about is to actually download the level3 files from past events and drag them into GRLevel3 for a presentation. I did a 'Radar 101' presentation for my Skywarn group completely from old radar data. I went over events in 1998, 2004, 2006, a couple from 07 and a couple from 08, and then threw in 5/3/99 for good measure, mostly to illustrate how storms in Michigan never really look like the classic storms in OK.

It actually seemed to be pretty well received and I think/hope some people learned some things about GR3 and radar in general.
