Electronically-delivered Current Weather Studies will be transmitted beginning on Monday and Wednesday of each week for downloading and printing by each participant. A DataStreme Atmosphere national weather summary will be available each school-day morning to supplement meteorological products delivered around-the-clock seven days a week. A file of new items relevant to weather and climate will be posted on Mondays.
A two-week start-up period is incorporated into the schedule to practice downloading and printing of electronically-delivered course materials. The same Investigations Manual activities will be delivered for both weeks, however only one week needs to be completed.
