Internet Wx Brief Roadmap Given the fact that there are so many potential links to view throughout The Weather Report, this forum represents a roadmap for a subset of links to use based on your approximate time of departure. In this forum there are multiple "sticky posts" that will include links based on the time before departure to include a departure within 12 hrs, within 24 hrs, between 1 and 2 days, and 3 days and beyond. |

Clouds, Fog and Visibility Fog, reduced visibility and low clouds keep more pilots on the ground than any other single weather factor, VFR or IFR. Learn about the role of advection as a prime producer of fog and reduced visibility. You must be a registered (paid) user to view or make posts in this forum.

Numerical Weather Prediction Models Nearly all short-term and long-term forecasts are based from numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. If you want to get beyond a simple DUATs briefing, models are in your future. If you have any questions about models or interpreting model output, this is the place to post.

Skew-T Log P Diagrams This tool gets its own forum. The Skew-T Log P diagram is one of most valuable tools available to pilots. It will tell you more about the kind of weather you will face than just about any other tool. Convection, icing, cloud bases and tops, turbulence and wind shear are just a few of the benefits of this tool. Got a question about this intriguing diagram, feel free to ask.

Turbulence Turbulence is perhaps the most difficult adverse weather element to visualize on the weather map. There are four kinds of turbulence to include mountain wave, mechanical, thermal and clear air. How do you know you're in for a bumpy ride? What altitudes will get you a smoother ride?

Satellite Meteorology Visible, infrared and water vapor images represent important tools for pilots to understand the current weather. Additionally, watching the recent history in satellite loops adds an additional dimension to the movement of any adverse weather.

Tropical Meteorology Hurricane season starts June 1 and continues through November 30 with the peak around September 10. The greatest threat is storm surge and intense rainfall/flooding. Tropical remanents can exhibit a tremendous amount of shear even if the Nexrad signature is not all that impressive. You must be a registered (paid) user to view or make posts in this forum.

BUFKIT BUFKIT is a visualization tool used by forecasters. It is a free tool and it can be downloaded and installed by anyone. The program uses ".buf" files that must be ftp'ed to a directory on your computer. It can take the better part of an afternoon to install.
