Description:So you're thinking of doing a forecast study? That's exciting, because a forecast study is the way to increase your knowledge of meteorology; on your own, just you and the atmosphere! This will be original, new knowledge--your personal contribution--not just some facts you read in a book or heard from someone else. What's more, when you're done you'll be sure of what you learned because you can demonstrate it with maps or charts from the data. Last, but not least, you'll be able to share your new knowledge with others by writing it down; this is the way the field of meteorology move forward, by people adding new knowledge to the reference base so that those who come later can use it. As one famous scientist said, "If I have seen farther than others, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants." Besides helping the person doing a study organize their thoughts, forecast studies provide a means of passing on instant experience to others. Each of us has the chance to provide "shoulders" for others to stand on. The purpose of this memo is to describe the steps in a forecast study that help lead to a successful completion.
