COMET Webcast: "Introduction to Ensemble Prediction" (2005)

This one-hour webcast by NCEP's William Bua "introduce[s] concepts in the COMET module Ensemble Forecasting Explained" (see the glossary entry for the module).

Appropriate level: Advanced undergraduates and above.

Summary comments: Dr. Bua's webcast presents a subset of the concepts presented in the Ensemble Forecasting Explained module. Generally speaking, the webcast treats its topics more simply than the module does. Quizzes with feedback, including a preassessment, are interspersed throughout. Viewing the webcast first should make completing the module, which is text intensive and sometimes conceptually challenging, easier.
