Weather Radar Training

[Mark Jack]

As I've started learning more and more about weather through various programs and courses I've realized that there is a TON of information displayed on radar images. It never hurts to continue learning more so I'm wonder what links, courses, or programs are suggested to get a better understanding of reading radar imagery. I've currently been going through Comet and taking some of the courses that relate to that topic area. An example link is posted below.

If you want to learn more about the dual pol applications, these are some great videos by Joey Picca (formerly SPC, Now NWS Fort Worth) discussing them for both severe convection and winter weather Storm Prediction Center Severe Thunderstorm Forecasting Video Lecture Series

When I get some time I'll have to look through those links.
Since I too would like to know more about it..
