Free online weather education.

At the bottom of this post you will find a link to a free online education course for Backyard Meteorology: The Science of Weather presented by Harvard University and hosted on the education platform EDX.
(EDX has hundereds of courses on many subjects presented by Harvard, Yale, MIT, and many others. They are free. It is worth your time to see the site.)
Do you have any free online sources for weather education? Include a link and a brief description in your post.


Course description
The weather forecasts we see every day are based an army of meteorological sensing networks and intensive computer modeling. Before the rise of these technologies, forecasts were made by understanding cloud formations and wind directions.

This course will explore the science behind weather systems by teaching the observational skills needed to make a forecast the without using instruments or computer models. We’ll discuss the physical processes driving weather and the global forces that shape global climate systems. Finally, we will examine the limits of prediction in both human observations and computer models.

Can the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas? Take this course to find out!

Course outline
Physical processes in weather systems
Winds, weather masses, clouds, fronts in the temperate zones
Other weather systems
Weather predictions: Linear and non-linear systems

Re: Free online weather education.

Wow, thanks, it looks pretty curious and very interesting. I often study similar things, courses, tutorials, materials, and literature for general development. Respect for such concise and accessible information in this post!
