PHSC1073 — Survey of Meteorology
PHSC 1073 - Survey of Meteorology PHSC 1073 - Survey of Meteorology Description A course in atmospheric science that examines thermal patterns, atmospheric moisture, air pressure, global patterns, frontal and air mass properties, weather extremes, and climatic challenges. Students will become aware of and work with surface weather observations. Internet based resources will be stressed. Explain the physical laws governing the structure and evolution of atmospheric phenomena spanning a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. 2. Apply mathematical tools to study atmospheric processes. 3. Explain the principles behind, and use of, meteorological instrumentation. 4. Describe, analyze and create graphical depictions of meteorological information. 5. Demonstrate critical and analytical skills to interpret and predict weather systems using weather products (model results, maps, satellite imagery, etc.). 6. Present and communicate weather analyses and forecasts in a team or individually. General Education
