ATS 663 - Weather Systems Analysis

Institution:

Creighton University

Subject:

Atmospheric Sciences

Description:

Application of fundamental analysis and diagnostic strategies to weather systems. Topics include meteorological data sources and errors, scalar analysis, cross-section and isentropic analysis, surface and upper air analysis, kinematic analysis, deformation and frontogenesis, quasi-geostrophic and isentropic potential vorticity diagnostics. Case studies of major weather systems are employed to demonstrate various analysis strategies and to synthesize a coherent picture of weather system structure and the processes that create that structure. Emphasis on computer assisted analysis and diagnosis. P: ATS 571 or IC.
