Quick Question

[Howard Robinson]

I think I have asked this before, so I am sorry if this is a repeat question. Does anyone know where I can get more infomation about Skew-T's and how to read them? Weatherprediction.com is a good site, but I'm looking for more if its possible.

METED should always be your first spot to hunt down training material (sticky maybe mod?)

Specifically, http://www.meted.ucar.edu/topics_convective.php has plenty of sounding help.

If you're just starting Skew's, use the NWS Training Manual.

TAMU has a nice document at http://www.met.tamu.edu/class/atmo251/Skew-T.pdf

From USAF:

The Use of the Skew-T, Log P Diagram in Analysis and Forecasting (TR79-006)

Then if you want to test yourself, take the trainee workbook then check the evaluation guide:

I knew that would end up online somewhere! We got a copy of that back in school and it's a great source. I especially like it because it's from the point-of-view for operations.
