1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in 2011 or 2014, 2013, Computer Science 1313 or 1323, Mathematics 2423, and Physics 2514 or 1205. Corequisite: 2023, Mathematics 2433, and Physics 2524 or 1215. Reinforces the theoretical concepts provided in the counterpart lecture course Meteorology 2023, which introduces students to important phenomena and physical processes that occur in the earth's atmosphere. Through a series of laboratory exercises, students will learn the basic concepts and tools that are used to study atmospheric problems. Special emphasis will be placed on developing information technology and computational skills. The laboratory exercises target the topics covered in the lecture component. (Sp, Su)

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in 2013, 2011 or 2014, Computer Science 1313 or 1323, Mathematics 2423, Physics 2514 or 1205; corequisite: 2021, Mathematics 2433, and Physics 2524 or 1215. Introduces students to important phenomena and physical processes that occur in earth's atmosphere. Students will learn the basic concepts and instruments used to study atmospoheric problems. Part II of the introduction to meteorology sequence focuses on atmospheric dynamics, wind systems of different origin and scale, and thunderstorms. It also addresses boundary layer meteorology, air pollution, forecasting and climate change. (Sp, Su)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in Physics 2514 and Mathematics 2443. Differential equations, vectors and vector calculus, Newtonian particle mechanics, projectiles, simple harmonic motion and atmospheric stability, central force motion and atmospheric vortices, moving coordinate systems and dynamics on a rotating planet, systems of particles and plane motion of rigid bodies as a prelude to fluid mechanics. (F)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in 1014 or 2014. Understand tropospheric meteorology from the vantage points of: the pilot on the ground and in the air transmitting varied weather systems in a short time; the meteorologist forecasting for the aviation community; the airport operations manager working with dispatchers, meteorologists, and airport staff; and the business person making aviation profitable. This course does not count for major credit in the School of Meteorology. (Sp)
-
3.00 Credits
Provide non-majors and majors a detailed descriptive account of the physical processes important in the formation of various severe and unusual weather phenomena including: thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail storms, lightning, hurricanes, midlatitude snowstorms, lake effect snows, atmospheric optical effects, and global climate change. This course does not count for major credit in the School of Meteorology. (Irreg.) [II-NL]
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Mathematics 1523. Why is global warming controversial Observed climate change and future changes. Natural and human causes of climate change. Greenhouse gases and the carbon cycle. Societal impacts of global warming and adapting to these impacts. Vulnerability of different communities. Approaches to reducing global warming. Ethical and philosophical dilemmas. This course does not count for major credit in the School of Meteorology. (Sp)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: grade of C or better in 2023 and 2021, Mathematics 2443, and Physics 1215 or 2524. This course introduces the physical processes associated with atmospheric composition, basic radiation and energy concepts, the equation of state, the zeroth, first and second law of thermodynamics for dry and moist atmospheres, thermodynamic diagrams, statics, and atmospheric stability. (F)
-
0.00 Credits
Prerequisite: junior standing. This course provides a mechanism for students to receive credit for their internship experiences with the national weather service, TV stations, the private sector or any other kind of agency or institution which provides internship opportunities for Meteorology majors. (F, Sp, Su)
