ANNOUNCING! A WWW-based Satellite Imagery Interpretation Course  Developed by Florida EXPLORES! - FSU Meteorology



The Fall 1998 IMAGE-IN modules will explore all facets of the US Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite Program. Each week you will be introduced to key elements of the POES Program. Week 1 will feature the motivation and history of the POES program and discuss some of the sensors and capabilities of these space-borne Earth observing platforms. Week 2 will highlight how these satellites are launched and placed into their proper orbits. Once launched, a network of data gathering stations tune their ears to space to receive the volumes of  information provided by POES systems. Week 3 will review how we receive 'pictures' from space! Once we have the imagery, how do we use them to further our understanding of the Earth-Atmosphere system? Weeks 4 and 5 will provide an awareness of the types of imagery available and how to interpret them. Week 6 will delve into advanced multi-sensor techniques and the current state of the art of these amazing systems!

Each daily module will take approximately one hour to complete. As a courtesy we will leave each daily lesson up throughout the course. If you fall behind, you can catch up as your schedule permits.

If you wish to participate, please register! THERE IS NO COST FOR THIS  COURSE! In service or certification credit will be issued to K-12 teachers where appropriate.

Of course, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me:  kloesel@met.fsu.edu

With the effect of El Nino, the weather on the West Coast of the US has been pretty wild, but not as wild as CNN's Virtual Hurricane. Go inside the eye of the storm and see what makes this powerful weather phenomenon tick. You'll be blown away.
