3.00 Credits
Overview of aerosols, clouds and precipitation in the atmosphere including observed characteristics and the thermodynamics of how clouds are created and dissipated. Physical interactions of solar and terrestrial radiation with atmospheric constituents, including greenhouse gases, aerosols, clouds and the ground, the role of clouds and atmospheric gases in the earth's energy budget, and the role of anthropogenic greenhouse gases in climate change. Prerequisites: ATMOS 5000 AND ATMOS 5300
-
3.00 Credits
Environmental fields are overwhelmed with information, but methods are available to help acquire, analyze, visualize, and interpret the associated time series and multidimensional fields. To accomplish these tasks, applications of computer programming and statistics relevant to environmental fields are introduced. The Python programming language using the Linux programming environment is emphasized. Statistical methods include time series analysis, multivariate data analysis of two-dimensional fields, forecast verification, and hypothesis testing. Corequisites: ATMOS 5000.

3.00 Credits
Interactions among components of the climate system are examined, especially interactions concerning the atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces, and sea ice. After completion of the course, knowledge of the physical processes underlying climate dynamics will enable students to evaluate and understand projected climate change and variability. Prerequisites: MATH 1050.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to modern numerical weather forecasting techniques, concentrating on model fundamentals, structures, dynamics, physical parameterization, and model forecast diagnostics. Prerequisites: ATMOS 5100.
-
1.50 Credits
A quantitative overview of atmospheric remote sensing concentrating on tropospheric phenomena. Emphasis is placed on developing a basic theoretical foundation as well as detailed examination of selected contemporary problems in this rapidly evolving field. Prerequisites: ATMOS 5340.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of radar meteorology; use of surface-based, aircraft-based, and satellite-based radar to study clouds, rainfall, and storms. Quantitative description of cumulus convection, multicell and supercell storms, mesoscale convective systems, local circulations (thermal and terrain forcing), downslope windstorms. Emphasis is on using observed characteristics to develop a physical and dynamical understanding of phenomena over a range of scales. Whenever possible, we will undertake real-time examination of storms as they may develop around the country. Fundamental aspects of mesoscale and non-hydrostatic motions in the atmosphere. Such motions are ubiquitous over mountains and within the atmospheric boundary layer, convective systems, lake effect snowstorms, extratropical cyclones, and tropical cyclones. The course also describes how modern weather radars are used for the quantitative description and physical understanding of precipitating mesoscale systems. Mesoscale events will be examined as they develop around the country. Prerequisites: ATMOS 5100 AND ATMOS 5300.

1.00 Credits
Students are guided through independent and group study to prepare an experiential learning experience, e.g., a research project, internship, or outreach activity. Students propose a customized experience relevant to their own interests that will be pursued during a subsequent semester. The course will also help students develop their skills in oral and written scientific communication.
-
1.00 - 12.00 Credits
A learning opportunity (e.g., a research project, internship, or outreach activity) that is customized by the student to be relevant to their specific interests. Prerequisites: Instructor Consent.
-
1.00 - 12.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Instructor Consent.

3.00 Credits
This course focuses on important aspects for prevention and health promotion of active populations. It is also intended as an introduction course to athletic training. If you are interested in the athletic training program, please go to the AT website to review program requirements and visit the College of Health advising web page to schedule an appointment with an advisor. The lab ATSM 3310 is required for all AT applicants. If you choose to take the lab, you will practice clinical skills and implement the knowledge you learned during the didactic course.
