  • ATSC 5004: Problems Dynamic I

    1.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    Focuses on computational solutions to problems developed theoretically in ATSC 5100. In addition, students gain proficiency in interpretation and analysis of weather data, including surface and upper level maps, and sounding data, which will be used to understand static stability. Data visualization software is also introduced and used to develop understanding of dynamical processes. Prerequisite: ATSC 5100 or concurrent enrollment in ATSC 5100.

  • ATSC 5005: Microphysics

    2.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    Microphysical observations of clouds and precipitation are first briefly surveyed. Thermodynamic equilibria in multiphase microphysical systems are then examined, as are homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, and diffusional and collisional processes leading to time-dependent changes in hydrometeor size. Embedded in these discussions are elementary considerations of single particle mechanics and hydrodynamics. Prerequisites: ATSC 5001, 5002 and 5003.

  • ATSC 5006: Problems Microphysics

    1.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    Atmospheric processes altering the hydrometeor size distribution are examined using computer algorithms developed by the student. Condensational and collisional growth processes, in warm and cold clouds, are examined. Data from hydrometer size spectrometers are used to initialize the problems. Prerequisite: ATSC 5005 or concurrent enrollment.
