This enjoyable on-line training system Antarctica: Challenging Forecasts for a Challenging Environment features an educational introduction to Antarctica including some history, interesting facts, real-life experiences, climate, and the challenges inherent to this frozen continent. After the short (12 minute) introductions, those viewers who want more information can follow on-line instructional units designed to give prospective Antarctic forecasters or meteorology students an understanding of the challenges in forecasting in Antarctica and an overview of the tools used to monitor and forecast Antarctica’s weather. Using recent images and interviews, the materials provide a very nice overview of weather in Antarctica. (Entry to the site requires an easy registration step.)
