NCAR's Earth Observing Laboratory, Millersville University, and The COMET Program, with support from the National Science Foundation, are currently collaborating in the development of an online course titled: Instrumentation and Measurement of Atmospheric Parameters (http://www.meted.ucar.edu/courses/instrumentation).

The course is composed of the following 10 lessons:

• Foundations of Meteorological Instrumentation and Measurements

• Meteorological Instrument Performance Characteristics

• Instrumentation and Measurement of Atmospheric Temperature

• Instrumentation and Measurement of Atmospheric Pressure

• Instrumentation and Measurement of Atmospheric Humidity

• Instrumentation and Measurement of Precipitation

• Instrumentation and Measurement of Winds

• Instrumentation and Measurement of Atmospheric Trace Gases

• Instrumentation and Measurement of Radiation

• Instrumentation and Measurement of Clouds and Aerosols

Courses on MetEd are free of charge with mandatory registration. MetEd is a free collection of hundreds of training resources intended for the geoscience community.
