New Course:
This module and the three previously released volcanic ash modules (Volcanic Ash: Introduction, Volcanic Ash: Volcanism, Volcanic Ash: Impacts to Aviation, Climate, Maritime Operations, and Society) have been combined to form the Volcanic Ash Science, Impacts and Forecasting Course. This course is available through the MetEd site at http://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_course.php?id=25. This course is also represented in the Commerce Learning Center @ National Weather Service as a development plan.
