As far as the authors and many peers interviewed at the time of the course knew, this effort was one of very few blended, upper-level synoptic courses offered at U.S. universities. What follows summarizes the course format, highlights course outcomes and challenges encountered, and poses thoughts for future online or blended collaborations in upper-level meteorology courses. Finally, UCAR and partner efforts to enhance university-researcher interactions and support more online offerings are presented.
