Course Description
This course examines the processes responsible for day to day weather variations, and the operational techniques used in their analysis and forecasting. This includes both research and operational approaches to the study of synoptic scale weather systems and their local impact. Dynamic and thermodynamic principles of atmospheric science applied to the development and evolution of synoptic systems. The course involves an application of dynamic and thermodynamic principles of atmospheric science applied to the development and evolution of synoptic systems and the use and interpretation of computer-generated forecast guidance products. It examines important phenomena such as jet streaks, fronts, and vorticity maxima that govern the weather over thousands of square kilometers during the course of a few days, but also those that affect the weather experienced in a local area.
