MTR 315 - Atmospheric Physics

Institution:

Western Connecticut State University

Subject:

Description:

This course concentrates on the physical processes responsible for the present day observed composition and vertical structure of the atmosphere, the microphysics of warm and cold clouds and their associated precipitation, the physics of charge generation and separation within clouds, as well as radiative transfer through clear and cloudy atmospheres. A basic background in general physics is required.
