This is a four-day camp that teaches the student how to decipher a United States surface weather observation using the Metar coding format. This camp will teach the student how to decode a U.S. Metar surface weather observation. We will go over the Metar decoding key to get foundational information, then apply that knowledge directly to real-world current Metars on the Windy.com page in class. Discussion and practice of decoding of surface observations will take place in class. Day 1:...
The student will learn how to decode an U.S. surface weather observation, understand the material, and apply this information in real time with practice.
The teacher is a STEM certified, was a USAF meteorologist for 20 years, and enjoys teaching about science related classes.

There will not be a formal third-party tool used in this class. However, we will be using Windy.com in class but there is no login information needed, outside usage by the student, and the platform is free to use open source. This will be used in class to provide real-time practice on decoding surface observations.
