PHYS 209: Meteorology
3.00 Credits
Widener University-Main Campus
This introductory course teaches an understanding of the Earth's atmosphere, including the forces producing weather and climate, the dynamics of air movements, pressure changes, mass density, volume relationships, as applied to the changing atmosphere, and the production of hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms. Also studied are atmospheric structure, the effects produced by solar radiation on the Earth's magnetic field-auroras, Van Allen belts,and similar phenomena. Meteorological instrumentation is studied in laboratory experiments designed to integrate theory with practice, together with the production of weather maps by students from empirical data recorded in the laboratory. This course is designed primarily for students majoring in science or engineering. 3 hours lecture. 2 hours laboratory. 4 semester hours

PHYS 278: Astronomyand Astrophysics Laboratory
1.00 Credits
Widener University-Main Campus
This course provides a hands-on, practical laboratory experience in astrophysics. Students become proficient in planning to take data, using a telescope to obtain their own data, reducing their data using software packages, and presenting results. Some of the laboratory time is spent at the telescope taking the data. Topics include creating finding charts, observing standard stars, photometry of variable stars, photometry of visual binaries, color-magnitude relation of open clusters, surface brightness profile of globular clusters, and spectroscopy of bright stars. Students are expected to write up their results in the format of a journal including abstract, introduction, results, discussion, and bibliography. Prerequisite: PHYS 208. 1 semester hour
