-
3.00 Credits
Quantitative and descriptive study of processes effecting exchanges of energy, momentum, gases, and particles between the atmosphere and the bio/geosphere, including the effects of plant cover, land use changes, diurnal and seasonal cycles, turbulence, boundary layer structure, local weather, and climate. Instrumentation and techniques also discussed. Prerequisites: MATH 2200 and PHYS 1110 and 1120 or 1310 and 1320, plus BOT 4400 or 4700 or REWM 4540.
-
3.00 Credits
Global atmospheric and oceanic circulations, radiation balance, water balance and hydrologic cycle, energy balance, energy and moisture transport, evaporation and evapotranspiration, energetic processes, and theories of climate change. Prerequisites: MATH 2200, PHYS 1310, and CHEM 1020.
-
3.00 Credits
Quantitative and descriptive study of processes effecting exchanges of energy, momentum, gases, and particles between the atmosphere and the bio/geosphere, including the effects of plant cover, land use changes, diurnal and seasonal cycles, turbulence, boundary layer structure, local weather, and climate. Instrumentation and techniques also discussed. Prerequisites: ATSC 4010 and either MICR 2021 or LIFE 2022 or LIFE 2023.
-
3.00 Credits
An independent research experience for undergraduate students enrolled in the Engineering Honors Program. Before registering for this class, students are responsible for discussing their interests with faculty, identifying a willing research mentor, obtaining approval by said mentor, and communicating the student/faculty partnership tot he appropriate staff in their home department. Must be in the Engineering Honors Program. Cross listed with BE/CE/CHE/COSC/ES/ESE/PETE 4580. Prerequisite: junior or senior standing.
-
2.00 - 6.00 Credits
Independent research in atmospheric science under supervision of an atmospheric science faculty member. Projects are possible in the fields of cloud and aerosol physics, radar meteorology, mesoscale dynamics, and stratospheric chemistry. Participation in field work, involving the UW aviation or stratospheric ballooning facilities, is a possibility. Research results are summarized in a report. Prerequisites: ATSC 4000 and 4100, plus consent from advising faculty.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Independent study of a particular problem or phase of atmospheric science, or presentation of reviews and discussion of current advances in atmospheric science investigations. Prerequisites: ATSC 4010, 4031, and 4035.
