MTR 1400: Weather and Climate
5.00 Credits
Metropolitan State University of Denver
3 (3 + 0) Prerequisite: Minimum performance standard scores on reading, writing, and mathematics preassessment placement tests This course introduces the fundamental physical processes in the atmosphere-heat and energy, temperature, pressure, wind, clouds, precipitation, and stability. These concepts provide the basis for understanding weather systems such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. These processes are also applied to climatic patterns and the impacts of human activity on weather and climate, such as air pollution and climate change. This course does not apply toward a meteorology major or minor. (General Studies-Level II, Natural Science) (GT-SC2)

MTR 2400: Introduction to Atmospheric Science
5.00 Credits
Metropolitan State University of Denver
4 (3 + 2) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Level I mathematics requirement This course provides a quantitative approach to understanding fundamental concepts in meteorology. Topics include radiation, heat balance of the atmosphere, thermodynamics, cloud formation, horizontal motion, general circulation of the atmosphere, and weather systems. In the laboratory sessions, students are introduced to surface and upper-air charts, thermodynamic diagrams, weather codes, and weather imagery. This is the introductory course designed for majors and minors in meteorology. Students receiving credit for MTR 2400 may not subsequently receive credit for MTR 1400.

MTR 2410: Weather Observing Systems
5.00 Credits
Metropolitan State University of Denver
3 (2 + 2) Prerequisite: MTR 2400 This course provides a survey of the instruments and instrument systems used in operational and research meteorology. The theory of instrument measurement and error, operating principles, and method of operation of surface- and upper-air sensors, as well as radar and satellites, will be presented. The lab component of the course will involve the theory, use, calibration, and maintenance of instruments and the analysis and interpretation of the observations.

MTR 3400: Synoptic Meteorology
5.00 Credits
Metropolitan State University of Denver
4 (3 + 2) Prerequisite: MTR 2400 This course presents a descriptive approach to the structure and behavior of mid-latitude, synoptic-scale weather systems. Primary topics include the physics of synoptic-scale air motion, the role of synoptic weather systems in the general circulation, jet streams, airmasses, fronts, and the application of these to cyclones and anticyclones. Elementary quasi-geostrophic theory and weather forecasting are introduced.

MTR 3410: Weather Analysis Techniques
5.00 Credits
Metropolitan State University of Denver
2 (1 + 2) Prerequisite: MTR 3400 This is a course in interpretation, understanding, and analysis of weather data, focusing on conventional surface and upper-air data and use of these data in current weather diagnostics. Topics include traditional hand analysis of surface and upper-air weather maps, spatial and temporal cross-sections, thermodynamic diagrams, meso-analyses, and prognostic charts. These topics form the foundation for correct and efficient use of modern computer analysis. This is an essential course for operational and applied research meteorologists.
