Presentation Resources in Atmospheric
Sciences
- K-12
meteorology education
- One sky, many voices: Kids and
Global Science (a K-12 project)
- weather for kids, with
many projects (UCAR)
- much more weather
for kids (NWS in Tulsa
OK)
- Datastreme
(a K-12 project by the AMS)
- Project Atmosphere (a K-12
project by the AMS)
- Global Learning and Observations to
Benefit the Environment (GLOBE, a K-12 project)
- National Severe Storms Lab
Educational: current weather, explanations, and resources
- the USA Today newspaper’s
weather info is remarkably accurate and illustrative
- NASA’s Earth Observatory
- OceanWorld,
from TAMU
- Physical Oceanography from Space,
from NASA JPL
- Remote Sensing Tutorial
(NASA-sponsored) – includes atmosphere, ocean, geomorphology, geology,
etc. Also useful at college level.
- Survey-level
(101) meteorology course material:
- Univ. of Maryland (Intro
to Earth System Science, lots of good pictures)
- Texas A&M
Univ. (quite complete, contains quiz questions, biased towards Texas)
- Iowa State, by Doug Yarger (nice tests of Foehn effect, advection,
poor tests of energy
balance, diurnal
T variation in the BL)
- useful teaching applets
from Ackerman/Whittaker at the U Wisconsin (nice applets on contouring,
frontal
analysis), plus the Suomi virtual museum with some nice examples on
climate models, radiation …
- Univ. of Michigan,
by Perry Samson (impressive design, multimedia Plugin
required) – relates to CD in ‘Meteorology Today’ by Ahrens
- Univ. of Illinois
UIUC WW2010 (also on CD)
- Alistair Fraser's
Questionable Pedagogical Materials
- MM5 visualization of a
frontal disturbance
- hurricanes !, from NOAA
- Datastreme
(AMS) with lots of real-time simplified images

undergrads/forecasters
- coupled jet-front
circulation systems, by Steve Koch (NCSU), for a synoptic/dynamic
meteorology course
