![]() ![]() ![]() Prerequisite: Earth Science 1115 with a grade of C or better or consent of instructor. Local field trips to observe severe weather first-hand may be included. Students gain a better understanding of severe weather initiation and evolution. Students monitor events prior to and during severe weather events using real time radar and other data sources. An emphasis is placed on hand analysis of raw data, assessing short term numerical weather models, and nowcasting. Other topics of current research interest will also be covered.Īn in-depth study of severe weather forecasting and analysis. Topics will include tools for mesoscale analysis, mesoscale modeling, thermally-forced circulations, fog, mesoscale winter events, and the morphology of convective systems including squall lines, mesoscale convective systems and supercells and their associated threats including flash floods and tornadoes. In depth study of meteorological phenomena with short temporal and small spatial scales. Basic physical principles, their relation to weather events, and weather's impact on society will also be explored. Topics will include severe weather spotting, weather radar, atmospheric soundings, tornadogenesis, El Nino, tropical meteorology, hurricanes, and an introduction to numerical weather prediction. In depth study of meteorological phenomena relating to severe thunderstorms, El Nino/Southern Oscillation events, and tropical storms. ![]()
