COMET CD-Based
Case Study:
Forecasting Aviation Icing: The
Icing Event of 6 March 1996
This CD-ROM is a resource data set which contains a comprehensive data set of over 3300 images, graphics, text products and derived products portraying an icing event that occurred over the continental United States on 6 March 1996. An application for viewing and exploring the data set is included. This CD-ROM will serve as a companion to the Web-based lessons on Icing Assessment and Forecast Tools and may also be utilized by other future Web-based lessons in this Professional Development Series. This hybrid approach takes advantage of the strengths of both Web and CD-ROM technologies. With Web-based lessons, learners are able to access up-to-date training materials on the internet. With CD-ROM-based data sets, learners can browse and display thousands of data products without the delays imposed by slow internet connections.
