This page contains links to posts in the “Chasing 101” series. I do not own the content used in the series.
Note: All of these posts are in chronological order. This means that each post adds on to what the previous post was teaching.
Chasing 101 is a series of discussions about chasing. They are meant to be accessible to people completely new to chasing, and provide an agar for veteran chasers to share their knowledge. Terms in bold are meteorologically significant, and defined in a glossary at the bottom of each post. Because chasing is anchored in the physical, real world examples will be used whenever possible.
