Lab Objectives:
This course is comprised of a
lecture section and a lab section. The lecture section is to provide the
background knowledge about various meteorological processes and weather phenomena,
while the lab section is to provide an opportunity to gain practical
experience in the application of this knowledge to "real-world"
situations.
What is Expected?
Please read the appropriate lab book chapters
before coming to each lab period. On the first page of each lab is a list of
required materials; please bring any required materials with you to class.
Your TA will introduce each lab exercise and then will assist you as you
complete the lab. You may work individually or in small groups, and are
encouraged to complete labs directly in the lab book. If a lab can't be
finished within the class period, it should be completed for homework before
the next class meeting.
Evaluation:
Students are expected to complete each lab and
understand the material presented. Your lab TA will provide feedback on your
work. The ideas and understanding of the lab material will be evaluated with
quizzes given during the next lab period. In addition to the quizzes, there
will be three lab exams during the semester. Lab quizzes and exams
collectively are worth 215 possible points.
