-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MET 125 This course provides students with training in the studio skills required of a broadcast meteorologist. This includes use of specialized weather graphics software, presentation skills, and working in a team environment. In addition, students are given instructions and aid in seeking employment in the field.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MET 140 This practicum provides students with hands-on training in a real weather studio. This experience will provide students with the skills required of a broadcast meteorologist. This includes use of specialized weather graphics software, presentation skills, and working in a team environment. In addition, students are given instructions and aid in seeking employment in the field.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MET 125, completed or be enrolled in MTH 140 or PHY 110 An introduction to the basic techniques for analyzing and forecasting surface and upper-air weather systems. Discussions of standardized techniques for collection and reporting of weather information and for displaying weather data patterns and preparation of forecasts. Topics include air mass classification, frontal analysis, construction of surface weather maps, upper-air analysis, and interpretation of satellite imagery.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MET 364 and must have completed or be enrolled in MTH 141 or PHY 111 A continuation of Synoptic Meteorology I. Pursues the development of specialized forecasting skills for phenomena such as tornadoes, hurricanes, thunderstorms, and atmospheric turbulence. Particular emphasis is placed on interpretation of National Weather Service forecast models.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MTH 140 An introduction to the basic meteorology and physics associated with construction of models capable of describing physical behavior of environmental components. Students will develop models describing the spread of pollutants in the atmospheric and hydrologic environments. Additional material includes the processing of data from environmental satellites to gauge ecosystem structure and health using ERDAS software.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MET 125 and MTH 140 Concentrates on atmospheric problems of global significance. These include greenhouse warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, global climate change, air pollution toxins, and other anthropogenically induced effects. The approach is based on basic principles of atmospheric science but includes some chemistry, hydrology, and physics.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MET 125 This course is designed for the students to understand, by applying atmospheric dynamics and physical analysis techniques, the convective and mesoscale phenomena, including mesoscale convective systems, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, drylines, low-level jets, and hurricanes. Emphasis will be given to the physical understanding of these processes instead of forecasting.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MET 364 and MET 365 An examination of the theoretical foundations of meteorology through the application of calculus and the principles of physics. Topics include atmospheric thermodynamics, hydrostatic equilibrium, stability and convection, and solar/terrestrial radiation.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MET 464 A continuation of Dynamic Meteorology I. Topics include the atmospheric equations of motion, kinematics of fluid flow; circulation, vorticity, and divergence theorems; energy and stability; and numerical weather prediction.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MTH 141 A presentation of advanced techniques in air pollution modeling, hydrologic modeling, and applications of environmental satellite data. In addition, aspects of climatological aspects of meso and microclimates are presented. An examination of techniques for modeling ecosystem response to climate change is also presented. Liberal Education: Environmental Perspectives.
