1. Can I still take the course and get credit for it?
Yes, you can take the course if you are not a NOAA employee.
You will not get college credit, but we can send you a certificate upon completion of the quizes.
2. How do I take the quizes?
When you are done with a particular lesson, email us at:
We will reply back to you with a quiz and evaluation form. We must get a completed quiz back from you for each lesson to be eligible for a certificate of completion. The passing grade on each quiz is 70%.
3. Do I need to take each lesson in a particular order?
No. However, it's highly recommended that you take section 1 (Understanding satellite imagery) before you take section 2 (Applications and case examples).
4. The Hy in SHyMet stands for hydrology, where is the hydrology section of the course?
The original idea of SHyMet was a full course (see
here). Due to budget constraints, the first course was targeted towards interns and focused on satellite meteorology. In the future, as the course expands, hydrology will be included.
