WX 491 - Advanced Dynamic Meteorology II

Institution:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

Subject:

Description:

3 Credits This is the second course in atmospheric dynamics that utilizes calculus. The dynamical set of equations and expressions that govern atmospheric phenomenon will be developed and applied. These equations and expressions will include the primitive set of equations, a kinematic description of the atmosphere, the absolute and barotropic vorticity equation, and the quasi-geostrophic set of equations. Applications will include the use of these equations to better understand Rossby wave dynamics and the cyclogenesis process. Prerequisite: WX 490.
