Advanced Meteorology

Catalog description

A further investigation of atmospheric behavior, including exploring more advanced meteorology topics, such as vorticity, advection, and the ageostrophic wind. Students also participate in a semester-long research project where an online severe weather database is used to identify atmospheric ingredients necessary to produce severe weather in Pennsylvania. A manuscript and presentation are required at the end of the semester. One introductory meteorology course and one course in algebra/trigonometry required.
