The Guide consists of twelve lessons that build upon one another:

This Guide was originally developed at the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The original version was modified for Unidata specific functions and put into HTML format It is applicable for users running Unidata McIDAS-X.

To complete the lessons in this Learning Guide, you will access the data for the "Storm of the Century" that affected the East Coast of the United States on March 12-13, 1993, from Unidata's remote ADDE server.
