(see above) Prerequisite question: What type of cyclogenesis occurred in the 24-25 Jan 2000 event ? (Please be ready to answer this question during the training session.) 4) Training Session Options: B.) Web-based training session - a "stand alone" version viewed via a Web browser, . This lesson version may be viewed at any time. These slides are ideal for printing from the web-browser, just print preview first to choose portrait or landscape mode. Best viewed with Internet Explorer or Netscape (prior to version 6). C.) Web-based VISITview session - This version uses the VISITview software within a Web browser, may be viewed at any time. It retains all the functionality of the VISITview software which you see in a "live" teletraining session. The talking points are not included in this lesson. D.) Local VISITview session - This is the same version of the lesson used in a "live" VISITview teletraining session, but no connection is made to an external VISITview server. You may download the file from this page and go through the lesson on your own in "local mode" by starting the "visitlocal.bat" file. Talking points are not included in this lesson. 5) References/Additional Links
