Fall 2011

In this course
we will examine — through lectures, readings, and lab exercises — the
processes that influence weather and climate patterns on the earth. We will
first examine the sources of energy driving atmospheric processes, the
importance of atmospheric moisture, and the forces creating the winds. The
second part of the course focuses on storm systems including mid-latitude
cyclones and severe weather. The last third of the class is devoted to the
study of climate, climate patterns, and the interaction between climate,
physical systems, and human activity. |
