ATMS 3690: Climate Dynamics
3.00 Credits
Pennsylvania Western University
The main goal for this course is to present the working of the climate system as a whole and its critical components (the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, glaciers, land surface, etc), their complex interactions and feedbacks, and the mechanisms governing natural climate variability (e.g., ENSO) and the climate response to external perturbations (e.g., the increase in greenhouse-gas concentrations). Several important periods in Earth's climate history are explained in terms of natural and anthropogenic forcings and climate system responses. Various scenarios of future climate changes are also discussed.

ATMS 4100: Synoptic Meteo & Climatology
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Pennsylvania Western University
Introduction to the application of basic atmospheric concepts on real-time weather data. This course aims synthesize observational and numerical weather analyses in order to understand weather phenomena on synoptic scale. Topics include: analysis of forces, accelerated reference frames, conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy; scale analysis; pressure coordinates; geostrophic and gradient flow; thermal wind; kinematic description of the wind, trajectories; circulation, vorticity and potential vorticity. The last part of the course will introduce quasi-geostrophic theory applications in synoptic meteorology and introduce concepts of frontogenesis and atmospheric jets.

ATMS 4200: Air Pollution
3.00 Credits
Pennsylvania Western University
This course emphasizes outdoor air pollution focusing on emission sources, both gaseous and particulate. Relatable topics include the interaction of air pollution with humans and the environment. Methods of measuring, quantifying, analyzing, and controlling air pollution are presented. Governmental regulations are also a focal topic.

ATMS 4300: Paleoclimatology
3.00 Credits
Pennsylvania Western University
This course, at its core, is a history of climate on Earth. In presenting that history, an overview of methods used to reconstruct that history on our planet is undertaken. Various proxy records are described in detail so as to define the scope and variability of climate change. Major events in climate history are investigated.

ATMS 4310: Dig Media Weather & Climate
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Pennsylvania Western University
The course is an introduction to television weather broadcasts and web-based narrow casts with emphasis on creating accurate weather forecasts, climate outlooks and on the techniques of communicating weather information to various publics. The course consists of weekly lecture/lab meetings and one-on-one critiquing/coaching to develop and improve descriptive science language as well as the graphics that accompany the verbal discourse. Special emphasis is placed upon accurate weather forecasting from skills initiated in previous coursework. Extemporaneous speaking styles will be stressed with timed delivery of weather information. Analysis of a weather graphics presentation will be undertaken, and ultimately students will be expected to arrange their own weather show for presentation and evaluation by classmates. A history of meteorology in the media will also be examined in the context of changing technologies and public perceptions.
