General Description

This course deals with the science of the Earth's atmosphere and its goal is to provide you with a better understanding of the processes occurring in the atmosphere that are responsible for the weather and climate we experience. The class will focus on why and how things happen, rather than on memorization of climate classifications and statistics. You will also learn how to read the sky and weather maps, and we will discuss the cause of selected natural and human-induced climate variations. Such topics will include El Niño, greenhouse warming, acid rain, and possibly the ozone hole.
