Continuation of Atm 211, with emphasis on severe and hazardous weather analysis and forecasting, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, downbursts, derechoes, hail, flash floods, hurricanes, winter storms, blizzards, blocking weather patterns, floods and drought; introduction to weather analysis software and weather display systems; commercial meteorology. Prerequisite(s): A Atm 211. S/U grading prohibited. Fall semester only.
-
3.00 Credits
Important topics in atmospheric and geophysical science are studied using various analytical and numerical techniques. Description and analysis of specific but disparate geophysical phenomena will expose the student the frequent application of certain mathematical and statistical approaches used to expound the underlying physical principles. Prerequisite(s): A Atm 210 or 210Z; A Mat 214, 311; (the latter recommended as a prerequisite; acceptable as co-requisite); Phy 150 or 151. Fall semester only.
