8.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 4303 or Mathematics 4753, Computer Science 1313 or 1323, Mathematics 3333, or permission of instructor. Will examine multivariate statistical methods used in the geophysical sciences for spatial analysis of data. Details of statistical theory, methodological issues, applications and programming will be explored. After a review of scalar, vector and matrix algebra, matrix transformation, scaling procedures, and similarity will be studied. Exploratory analysis with empirical orthogonal functions, principal components, singular value decomposition and factor analysis to be examined in detail with emphasis on truncation rules, graphical, orthogonal, and oblique analytic rotation. Additional topics will include procrustes analysis, canonical correlation analysis, multifield singular value decomposition, and cluster analysis. (Irreg.)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 4133, 4424, 5113 or permission of instructor. Theory and application of quasi-geostrophic dynamics, Q-vectors and isentropic potential vorticity, diagnostic studies of mid-latitude synoptic-scale systems, mesoscale structure of precipitation, structure and dynamics of fronts and jets. (Sp)
-
9.00 Credits
Prerequisite: graduate standing, permission of instructor. Can be repeated for credit; maximum credit four hours. 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. No student may earn credit for both 4491 and 5491. (F, Sp)
-
0.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 5113. Survey of past climates; climate variability; heat and water budgets of the atmosphere, oceans and land surfaces; the general circulation; climate modeling.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Mathematics 2443 and Chemical Engineering 3113. Scale and vector field theory. Ordinary and partial differential equations. Matrix algebra. Complex analysis. (F)
-
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)
-
5.00 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)
-
0.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Mathematics 3113 or permission of instructor. Performance of measurement systems used to obtain meteorological observations. Includes systems for synoptic observations and special purpose systems for micro-meteorology, air pollution, etc. Effect of static, dynamic, sampling, round-off, and truncation error on data quality; comparison of analog and digital recording techniques. Laboratory (Irreg.)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: C or better in 3113 and 3213, Physics2524, 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 and similarities among the planets of our solar system. No student may earn credit for both 4643 and 5643. (Irreg.)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in 3113 and 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.)
