Description:

3 hours lecture and 2 hours laboratory per week. This course is intended to introduce the student to the Earth-Atmosphere system and the meteorological processes that drive our planet's weather and climate. The basic concepts of local, regional, and global-scale phenomena such as air masses, fronts, tropical cyclones and severe weather are tied together with recent advances in weather satellite technology to provide the student with an understanding of the atmosphere. Viewing the atmosphere as an integral part of a system, the topics of climate and climate change are made relevant to many fields of interest beyond pure science such as agriculture, economics, journalism, and government policy-making.
