About this class
This course explores the structure of atmosphere, including its chemical constituents as well as its physical and dynamical properties as they pertain to every day weather and climate.
- Emphasis will be placed on energy forms as they relate to temperature, moisture forms, as they relate to clouds and precipitation, and pressure patterns as they relate wind flow. We will also examine air masses, fronts and mid-latitude cyclones; as well as the development and evolution of severe weather phenomena including thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes and hurricanes.
- Where possible, daily weather map discussions will be used to illustrate the concepts and principles.
- This course is designed for undergraduate students not majoring in meteorology.
- There are no prerequisites; however, a 1-hour credit lab (MEA 135), may be taken.
