Institution:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

Subject:

Description:

3 Credits This is the first course in atmospheric dynamics that uses calculus. The focus of this course is on the full development of the momentum equation on a rotating earth and the subsequent applications of this equation to atmospheric flows. Applications will include the concepts of geostrophic balance and the geostrophic wind, gradient balance and the gradient wind, hydrostatic balance, the hypsometric equation, and thermal wind balance. Synoptic examples will be examined to illustrate these concepts. Prerequisites: MA 243, WX 354, and WX 420.
