12 818: Introduction to Atmospheric Data and Synoptic Meteorology
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Provides a general introduction to meteorological data and analysis techniques, and their use in the MIT Synoptic Laboratory to study the phenomenology and dynamics of large-scale atmospheric flow. Balance concepts as applied to the dynamics of frontal and synoptic scales are illustrated using real-time upper air and surface station data and gridded analyzed fields. Advanced meteorological software packages are used to access, manipulate, and graphically display the data.
