Streamflow Routing
This module offers a thorough introduction to streamflow routing methods and applications in the river forecasting process. Through the use of rich illustrations, animations, and interactions, this module explains key routing concepts, flow characteristics, and tools with a primary focus on hydrologic routing methods. As a foundation topic for the Basic Hydrologic Science Course, this module may be taken on its own or used as a supporting topic to provide factual scientific information to students as they complete the case-based forecasting modules.

Nearshore Wave Modeling
Ocean waves near shore impact public safety, commerce, navigation, and, of course recreation. Predicting these waves has driven efforts to model them for more than two decades. This module introduces forecasters to different nearshore wave models, including phase-resolving and 1- and 2-dimensional spectral models. It describes the processes that wave models simulate, the assumptions they make, the initial and boundary conditions required to run the models, and potential sources of error in model forecasts. While focusing on SWAN, the module also examines the Navy Standard surf Model and Bouss- ...

气象仪器与观测方法指南 (WMO-No. 8)
《WMO 气象仪器和观测方法指南》(WMO-No.8)第一版于1954 年出版,共十二章。此后,标准化仍然是仪器和观测方法委员会(CIMO)活动的一个关键问题。委员会不断审议指南的 内容,并确保在定期更新时纳入了反映技术的快速发展及其在气象仪器和观测方法领域的 实施的现代指导材料。
对于常规用途的大多数仪器、系统和技术,本指南是一项关键资源,提供了从最简单到最复 杂精细的描述,但不会涉及仅用于研究的方法和工具。指南的目的是给出最佳做法和程序,以及仪器和系统的基本能力,协助国家气象和水文部门或者其他感兴趣的运行观测系统的用 户编制他们的手册和程序,满足各自对测量和观察结果的特定需要。指南有意将标准化限制 在基本要求上,并将建议局限至给定仪器或测量系统不同配置最常见的一般特征,从而给 进一步发展留下广泛余地。对于有关与WIGOS 相关的仪器和观测方法的所有问题,本指南 都是权威参考。
