Dear all,

I would like to share with you an announcement regarding an upcoming,
free MOOC that has been developed by the Met Office College. The course
is appropriate for anyone interested in learning more about the weather,
and requires no scientific background knowledge.

https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/learn-about-weather

"Ever wondered what the difference between a hurricane, cyclone and
typhoon is? Or what a ‘front’ is? Or asked how weather warnings are
issued? Maybe you’ve even spoken about the weather today. The weather
is one of the most popular topics of conversation, yet not many of us
actually know how it works.

On this course you’ll explore all things weather, learning about the
basic processes that result in the weather that we experience and how
the weather affects people like photographers, gardeners and walkers."

  Topics covered:

     * The large-scale processes that lead to our weather
     * Air masses and their characteristics
     * How to interpret a weather (synoptic) chart
     * Clouds and what they can indicate
     * Weather and climate for gardeners
     * Weather for photographers
     * Hazardous weather for walkers

  We hope that the course will be useful for your public outreach
efforts.

Best regards,

Patrick
