Continuing the tradition of fantastic aviation weather seminars, Michael Cetinich of Jeppesen will present this three-part (3 hour) seminar about mountain weather.
We'll take a look at the nuances of weather caused by mountainous terrain, an in-depth (non-political) look at climate and change, what causes climate to vary, and annual influences to weather such as the ENSO pattern. We'll also have a near-real time flying scenario and look at the weather to help determine a go/no-go decision and/or alternatives.
