Discover What Drives the Wind—and How to Track It
Body
This second class in GLCCSchool’s Marine Weather Essentials series reveals the forces that shape wind patterns across the Great Lakes. You’ll learn how terrain, temperature, and pressure systems influence wind behavior - and how to use Doppler radar to monitor developing weather in real time. Available individually or as part of a discounted four-class bundle.

Explore the invisible forces that shape wind patterns across the Great Lakes - from large-scale atmospheric dynamics to localized lake and land breezes. Then, dive into Doppler radar technology to learn how to interpret radar imagery and monitor approaching storms. This session empowers you to anticipate wind shifts and avoid dangerous weather with confidence.
