  • ATMS 4520: Atmospheric Thermo & Radiation

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    This course examines the role of thermodynamics and radiation in the atmosphere. Topics covered in the course include the First and Second Law of Thermodynamics, adiabatic and diabatic processes, thermodynamic diagrams, and stability. These concepts will prepare the student for understanding exactly how the earth is heated by solar radiation. Specifically, those principles in atmospheric radiation will be investigated, including solar and terrestrial radiation, blackbodies, absorption and emission, and scattering.

  • ATMS 5011: DataStreme Atmospheric Studies

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    A collaborative learning course in conjunction with the American Meteorological Society (AMS) designed to focus on principles of meteorology from analysis of digitally delivered near real-time environmental data and learning activities. The course utilizes the display and analysis of atmospheric data with applications designed to be modified for use in other instructional formats. The analysis of weather maps is an integral part of the investigations component of the course. Students are expected to visualize, interpret, and interrogate various weather phenomena as they relate to the current state of the atmosphere. Basic prediction of future weather conditions is one of the culminating experiences of the course, after extensive online investigations. The course relies on data and support of the American Meteorological Society.

  • ATMS 5012: DataStreme Ocean Studies

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    A collaborative learning course in conjunction with the American Meteorological Society (AMS) designed to focus on principles of oceanic analysis of digitally delivered near real-time environmental data and learning activities. The course utilizes the display and analysis of oceanic data with applications designed to be modified for use in other instructional formats. Specifically, it is designed to be a study of the four main branches of oceanography: 1) geology of the oceanic basins (origins of the oceans, structure and geomorphology of the ocean's floor, methods of investigation); 2) chemistry of the ocean waters; 3) physics of the oceans (currents, waves, tides, etc.); 4) biology of the oceans (marine plants and animals). The course relies on data and support of the American Meteorological Society.

  • ATMS 5013: DataStreme Climate Studies

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    A collaborative learning course in conjunction with the American Meteorological Society (AMS) designed to focus on principles of climate analysis of digitally delivered near real-time environmental data and learning activities. The course utilizes the display and analysis of climatic data with applications designed to be modified for use in other instructional formats. In this course the elements and controls of climate are analyzed in a systematic fashion. The physical parameters controlling climate are reviewed, as they relate to physics and chemistry. Climate science is concerned not only with the most frequently occurring types, the average weather, but the infrequent and unusual types as well. Climates of the past and potential future states of climate will be discussed and the impacts thereof. The student will be able to make an informed decision in the framework of a Citizen Scientist given the nature of a changing climate through data analysis utilized in this course. Near the conclusion of the course, human energy needs, policy implications and political ramifications are discussed based upon our best understanding of the impacts of the quickly changing climate. The course relies on data and support of the American Meteorological Society.
