Our Mission

The Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB) develops and delivers training on the integrated elements of the warning process within a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Weather Service (NWS) forecast office. WDTB instructors develop and deliver a variety of in-residence, teletraining, and on-line asynchronous training content to meet this mission. Our goal is to increase expertise among NOAA/NWS personnel so that they can better serve the public during warning operations.

Volume Coverage Pattern Training WDTB recently release training on the operational use and selection of volume coverage patterns (VCPs). This training presents some true impacts of faster VCPs on the WSR-88D systems, the characteristics of all VCPs, and a decision-tool that can help NWS forecasters select a VCP that is appropriate for their current needs. This training is intended for all NWS staff who are involved in the decision-making process for VCP selection with their local WSR-88D. Remember that NWS personnel should complete the training in the Commerce Learning Center.	*Updated: February 4, 2010 14:27 CT* WES 9.0 Update 2 now available!
