  • ATS 660: Advanced Terrestrial Remote Sensing

    4.00 Credits
    Creighton University

    This course covers the technique and applications of observing the Earth from air- and space-bourne instruments. We will cover basic issues of geometry and scale associated with making these measurements, electromagnetic properties of Earth surface materials, the range of instruments used to observe the Earth, and applications of satellite remote sensing to geological, environmental, and atmospheric questions. The course will involve substantial research project utilizing remote sensing data and software. Graduate students will also be expected to do an oral presentation to be arranged with the instructor.

  • ATS 663: Weather Systems Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    Creighton University

    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.

  • ATS 674: Aeronomy

    3.00 Credits
    Creighton University

    Basic features of the technical disciplines comprising the field of aeronomic studies. Starting with an overview of solar processes and phenomena, class lectures will trace the processes as solar energy is transported into space and into the earth's atmosphere. Includes introductory solar physics, magnetospheric effects, thermospheric and ionospheric processes, and special optical phenomena, e.g., aurora and airglow. Students will be exposed to a wide spectrum of highly specialized technical areas with the intent of directing them into more advanced, specialized, in-depth studies. P: ATS 571.

  • ATS 675: Advanced Stratospheric Dynamics

    3.00 Credits
    Creighton University

    Course designed to acquaint the student with the diverse dynamic processes responsible for forming and maintaining the earth's stratosphere. Topics discussed include the radiative and chemical processes responsible for creating the region, periodic changes observed and their significance, and techniques used to measure and observe phenomena in this region. Depending upon the experience levels of the students enrolled, individual specialized exercises may be added to the usual lectures to increase the student's involvement and understanding.
