SYNOPTIC METEOROLOGY

Catalog description

Two hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Study of large-scale weather phenomena, analysis and forecasting techniques for mid-latitude and tropical weather. Examination of mid-latitude synoptic events. Analysis of weather maps and data acquired from conventional and remotely sensed sources. 460 Undergraduate Catalogue 2026-2027 METE 4085. MESOSCALE METEOROLOGY Three credit hours. Three hours of lecture per week. Identification and discussion of the physics of mesoscale atmospheric processes and their computational representation for predictive models. Analysis of the fundamental equations for atmospheric motion, selection of appropriate physical scales, and examination of parameterizations of sub-scale phenomena, such as radiative interactions, convection, and moisture-induced process.
