Satellite Applications for Winter Weather: Snow Squalls

CLC

There are two main snow squall lessons on the CLC, both of which are part of WDTD's WOC Winter (be sure to take these on CLC to earn credit): 

1.) Snow Squalls: Meteorological Considerations (reposted with updates, March 2023) - This module covers snow squall fundamentals, including snow squall dynamics, conceptual models, flash freeze, radar limitations, and application of a total observation concept.  

2.) Snow Squall Warnings & Associated Operational Actions (Updated October 2022) - This module highlights actions to take at different forecast time scales, and covers decision making related to SPS/SQW and SQW with and without Wireless Emergency Alert activation. LSR issuance is also covered. 

Note: If you were previously enrolled in WOC Winter (fall 2022 or earlier), the module below is still active, but will be removed for the fall 2023 course: WOC Winter 2022: Snow Squall Warnings: Part 1, Meteorological Considerations | Quiz
