Design and interpretation of National Meteorological Center numerical forecast models. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in ATSC 5160. Dual listed with ATSC 4170.
-
1.00 Credits
Real-time application of basic dynamic, thermodynamic and microphysical principles in the identification prediction of weather features. Emphasis is placed on oral diagnostic weather discussions and forecast presentation. Prerequisite: ATSC 4150. Dual listed with ATSC 4180.
-
1.00 Credits
Detailed synthesis of dynamic, thermodynamic and microphysical principles in relation to current weather. Emphasis on quantitative interpretation of the various hydrodynamic equations which characterize the behavior and forecasting of weather patterns. Oral discussion and forecast. Prerequisite: ATSC 5180. Dual listed with ATSC 4190.
-
3.00 Credits
Types of clouds and precipitation systems, and the precipitation mechanisms in those systems; structure of convective, orographic, and frontal systems and severe storms. Schematic and numerical models of clouds and storms with emphasis on hailstorms. Prerequisite: ATSC 5011 and ATSC 5014.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the dynamic energetics of the atmosphere, wave motions, atmospheric instabilities. Introduction to numerical modeling, applications. Prerequisite: ATSC 5014.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on the ocean as a system. Objective is the development of interdisciplinary understanding of marine processes, especially those processes occurring along coastal margins. Emphasis is on the development of quantitative models and their use in understanding anthropogenic impact on ocean resources. Dual listed with ATSC 4320. Prerequisite: MATH 2310, PHYS 1310, CHEM 1030, ES 3060 (or ES 3070), LIFE 1010, senior standing or higher.
-
3.00 Credits
A quantitative and descriptive study of the thermodynamics and dynamics of the planetary boundary layer, including budgets (heat, moisture, momentum, turbulent kinetic energy, radiation), stability, turbulence and turbulent fluxes, convection, terrain effects, phenomenology, and measurement and analysis techniques. Prerequisite: ATSC 5010, ATSC 5014.
-
3.00 Credits
The theory of radar and the application of radars to studies of the atmosphere, including basic radar design, distributed targets, attenuation, polarization, Doppler velocities, analysis techniques, and examples of radar studies of clear air, clouds, and precipitation. Prerequisite: ATSC 5010 and 5011.
-
3.00 Credits
Origin and composition of the atmosphere. Sources, lifetimes, transport of gases and aerosols. Cycles of C, S, N and trace elements. Removal processes: precipitation, and dry deposition. Homogenous and Heterogeneous kinetics. Anthropogenic influences: effect of air pollution on radiation balance and cloud processes. Prerequisite: graduate standing in a physical science or engineering.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to instrumentation used on research aircraft to measure properties of the atmosphere. Topics include measuring atmospheric state, atmospheric particles, and other constituents (i.e. trace gases) from aircraft. Principles of measurement techniques are described, complexities due to clouds are presented, and resulting uncertainties and limitations are explored. Prerequisite: Graduate student in Atmospheric Science or consent of instructor.
