WxChallenge
The competition can be great
fun but also it provides an opportunity to learn more about the
basic principles of meteorology and weather forecasting.
Note for the undergrads:
the competition can be taken for fun or for
credit. Here are the requirements for earning 3 units of
credit:
 | Forecast for the entire year
(4 stations for semester)
|
| Do not miss forecasts
– at most one guidance per forecasted
station.
|
| Regular attendance of
by-weekly meetings, where members of
the team take turns to discuss the current weather situation,
the station statistics and the model forecasts. These meetings
are a social event (food is always provided) but they are also
very important for learning how to forecast. You are expected to
attend. If you cannot, please email jscott@mit.edu. – not more than one
meeting per semester should be missed.
|
| Presentation/Forecast
Discussion at one of the by-weekly meetings,
preferably done as a group of two students. More experienced
forecasters will be expected to present in the fall semester,
newer members of the team in the spring.

| Sign up for 12.091 –
Special Topics in EAPS (with a PDF grade) – please do
this at the begging of the spring semester when you will be
clearer about your commitment. |
