• A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957
  • After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Spotter Network Training / Exam in Open Beta

90 minutes?! To take the test? Or am I misunderstanding? If it took me 5 minutes, I'd be shocked.

You must mean to go through all of the raining material and then the test?

no, 90 minutes to read through everything and take the test.
 
17/20 out of 20 the first time for a noob

20/20 100% for the second time. Pretty proud, information will be MUCH more helpful for knowledge and chasing.
 
The SN training is a great tool and resource. Too many people were downloading with no experience. Now this puts everyone on a minimum level.
 
I passed with a 95. This was so very informative!! I enjoyed it very much, and know so much more now than I did before taking the course. A seasoned fellow spotter in my area actually complemented me on my knowledge, and had no idea that I'd taken the added training!

I feel more confident about reporting what I'm seeing, and don't over-report with things that don't matter. I can also debunk bad reports, because I know the difference.

This training was a great addition to the spotter training that I have had locally.

Great Job!!
 
Very well done.

I've been through multiple training classes and full-day workshops and still learned a thing or two.
 
Tyler, I have a question about spotter network itself. I have passed the quiz, but when I try to log in to spotter network it won't let me. I've had my password reset, and I still can't log in. What is going on there?
 
I took this back in the Spring, One question wrong. I even treated myself to the little certificate you can order when you pass.

Definitely a good refresher course.
 
Dear allison or whoever has put together the spotter program spotternet thing

OK it's almost 11pm in Tx and I'm Tired but I will do the test at some point in the next 3 or 4 days. Going to bed now. Night. And I just found this tonight so please be patient as I very much want to be a part of the Spotter Network as I belive it is a great Idea to have this option for those of us who wish to be of the best help to NWS,Public or others.
