Tailoring National Weather Service Training to Serve the Pacific's Most Remote Locations

摘要

The past three years have seen a generational increase in satellite observing capabilities that provide new and innovative ways to observe and diagnose the atmosphere. Decision Support produced in the forecast office for partners can best happen if the National Weather Service forecasters are effectively trained on how the new data and products can be used. For forecast offices in the Pacific and Alaska Regions of the National Weather Service, effective training is challenged by meteorological events that are regionally unique and also by the remoteness of the training area.
