Re: Meteorology B
Hey guys, I was just wondering what the best online resource is for this event. Also, I was wondering if anyone knows how the different sections on the test are ranked. Like weather predictions and multiple choice questions. Thanks.

Re: Meteorology B
I'm not sure if there is a single all-encompassing resource. The [wiki]Meteorology/Everyday Weather[/wiki] is pretty good, and soinc.org links to a NOAA site that has lots of resources directed at Science Olympiad. Other than that, you may just want to use different sites for different topics, since some might focus on, say clouds, while others might focus on fronts. This will give you a more diverse background.
Also, a quick tip. You might want to put your image and the other information in your signature. To do that, you can click on "User Control Panel" on the upper right, and then the "Profile" tab, and finally "Edit signature". Then that signature will appear under all of your posts.
Also, I see you're from Wayne Highlands! Good job last year, it was quite impressive how you finished second at regionals. NE is shaping up to be a dogfight this year in Division B.

Re: Meteorology B
Are calculators allowed in competition? The rules don't say either way...

Re: Meteorology B
Does anybody have any good tests on EDW? Many of the tests on the test exchange are on climate...

Look at 2010 & 2007 Test Exchange for more EDW tests. PM me and we can discuss a few other ideas.

Re: Meteorology B
Great Study Session last night. Our mentor made up Trivia Pursuit-like cards. Breaks up the death by power point seesions we have sometimes.
6 Catagoies, 3 Cell and Beyond, The Atmsphere, Phenoms, Clouds, Everyday Weather, Hodge Podge. Had a blast and still learned a few things. Just an FYI for those looking to do something fresh. Our states our still 6 weeks away. MM1

There is some pretty advanced stuff here. If anyone wants to go beyond what SO requires.
