Topic:
What about Skew T Diagrams
Date and Time:
Tuesday, November 10, 2026, starting at 19:00 Central Standard Time (17:00 PST; 18:00 MST; 20:00 EST; 15:00 HST; 16:00 AKST; 18:00 Arizona; Wednesday, November 11, 2026 01:00 GMT)
Brief Description:
If You struggle with Weather and Skew T Diagrams then this webinar briefing is for You!
Our guest speaker Fred Remer, retired Professor of Meteorology at the University of North Dakota will explain what and why we need to understand Skew T Diagrams as a pilot.The presentation will investigate the process of obtaining weather information for flight planning. A good weather briefing involves risk assessment for weather hazards. The pilot's task in flight planning is to identify these hazards and determine if they can be mitigated or avoided. This presentation will step through the identification of these hazards from 'the big picture' to local conditions.

Additional Information for You:
The Skew-T Log-P offers an almost instantaneous snapshot of the atmosphere from the surface to about the 100 millibar level. The advantages and disadvantages of the Skew-T are given below:
Why do we need Skew-T Log-P diagrams?
- Can assess the stability of the atmosphere
- Can see weather elements at every layer in the atmosphere
- Determine cap strength, convective temperature, forecasting temperatures,
- Determine character of severe weather
- This is the data used to produce the synoptic scale forecast models
