Vaisala IceCast IceView User Training Course

General

The IceView training course will explain both the functionality of the IceView display software together with a full explanation of all the information which can be viewed.  To do this the trainees will download the meteorological data onto their workstations.  Using this downloaded data they will then open, interrogate and configure tabular, graphical and cartographical views for both actual and forecast data using the IceView program.

This course is aimed at the users who either monitor or make transport weather decisions.  The actual content of the course will be dependant on exactly how much meteorological information the client receives (sensor and/or forecast data) and also if Thermal Mapping /site map/status map information is available.
