0.00 Credits
1 to 3 hours. Prerequisite: admission to Honors Program. May be repeated; maximum credit six hours. Provides an opportunity for the gifted honors candidate to work at a special project in the student's field.
-
0.00 Credits
Prerequisite: grade of C or better in CS 1313 or permission of instructor. The use of computers and networks to process the information of meteorology. Workstation skills, computer operating systems, programming languages, the internet, computer graphics, analysis and display of meteorological data. No student may credit for both 4330 and 5330. (Irreg.)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in 3113, 3213. Students prepare and present daily weather briefing. The briefing should demonstrate ability to synthesize current weather information on all scales, prepare a forecast and communicate this clearly and succinctly to an audience. Can be repeated for credit up to four hours. No student may earn credit for both 4491 and 5491. (F, Sp)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: senior or graduate standing and permission of instructor. Explores earth's climate system, controls on climate change, and evolution of climate history through geologic time as deciphered from climate proxies. No student may earn credit for both 4533 and 5533. (F)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Mathematics 1503. Examines the science and technical aspects of solar, wind, hydro, and biomass power systems. Targets students interested in environmental science. Emphasis is on the key role of climate in determining where each of these systems is most likely to provide feasible alternatives to energy generated by fossil fuels. No student may earn credit for both 4553 and 5553. (Sp)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: grade of C or better in 3613, 3213, 3113, and Math 3113 or 3413. Introduction into micrometeorological research topics with strong emphasis on instrumentation. Provides hands-on experience in micrometeorological instrumentation, data acquisition and analysis. The structure of the atmospheric boundary layer and the influence of vegetation and buildings on small-scale meteorological conditions are studied. Theoretical concepts are verified against observations from a micrometeorological tower. No student may earn credit for both 4603 and 5603. (Irreg.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in 3113, 3213, Physics 2524, Mathematics 3113 or permission of instructor. This course will provide an integrated overview of planetary sciences, emphasizing planetary formation and evolution, the atmospheres of the planets, and atmosphere/surface interactions. The interrelationships among different systems will be emphasized. The goal is to provide insight on how we decipher details of distant planets, and the differences ad similarities among the planets of our solar system. No student may earn credit for both 4643 and 5643. (Irreg.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: grade of C or better in 3113, 3213. Presents an overview of atmospheric dispersion problems and relevant weather systems with an emphasis on processes in the atmospheric boundary layer. Basic concepts and theories of turbulent transport and mixing are introduced and different dispersion theories and modeling approaches are discussed. No student may earn credit for both 4653 and 5653. (Irreg.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: grade of C or better in Electrical and Computer Engineering 3613, or permission. Introduction to radar system designs and applications with emphasis on weather radar. Radar system architecture and their functionalities and limitations of subsystems are discussed. Theories of radar detection and estimation in a noisy and cluttered environment; existing technologies and advanced techniques to improve radar performance. No student may earn credit in both 4663 and 5663. (F)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in 3123, 3223. With 4922, satisfies Capstone course requirement. The instructor will guide senior meteorology majors through planning of a research project. Interdisciplinary topics are encouraged and library work will be required. Students will be paired with regular or adjunct faculty mentors. Senior doctoral students may serve as mentors with permisison from the instructor. The result of 4911 will be a mini-proposal which will serve a a guide for the senior research project. In addition, the instructor may present professional skills useful during job search, early employment, and graduate school application and attendance. Note that METR 4922 should be taken following this course. (F, Sp) [V]
