Global winds, seasonal changes, climate and climatic change. Discussion session will include weather map analysis and basic quantitative lab exercises. Credit is not given for both 100 and 101. Dr. Ackerman's class web page for AOS100 . This course introduces students to the physics of radiative transfer and remote sensing.
Emphasis is on application.
My intent is to make you familiar with the concepts of radiative transport and not to make you an expert in the field. We will discuss scattering absorption and emission of radiation, focusing on radiation energy budgets and remote sensing of the atmosphere using observations from different satellites. Web page for Spring 2000 . Weather for Pilots is an applied meteorology course designed for pilots and student pilots. The goal of the course is to provide a learning opportunity for those interested in studying advanced aviation-weather topics.
