Dual listed with ATSC 4400. Prerequisite: MATH 2200, PHYS 1310, and CHEM 1020.
-
3.00 Credits
Overview of atmospheric radiation, basic definitions, and basic laws of radiation. Nature of solar and terrestrial radiation, and atmospheric transmission. Derivation and analytic solutions to the equation of radiative transfer. Radiative transfer models at solar and terrestrial wavelengths, net radiation, and effects of polarization. Radiative properties of molecules, aerosols, and clouds (Rayleigh and Mie scattering). Inadvertent climate modification. Atmospheric refraction, diffraction and polarization phenomenon. Prerequisite: ATSC 5011.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of the processes involved in cloud and precipitation formation. Detailed treatments of the condensation, ice nucleation, vapor growth, and collection processes.
