CPHYS 2104 Meteorology
This course is designed to take advantage of students' interest and curiosity about weather, as well as their desire to understand the impact that people have on the atmospheric environment. The course will cover such topics as temperature, precipitation, air pressure and winds; air masses and weather patterns; tornadoes and hurricanes; air pollution; and climate change. Laboratory activities and technology will be integrated into the course to give students a better understanding of weather variables and how weather data is monitored, collected, and analyzed. A student project is required. Prerequisite: CPHYS 1104 or equivalent strongly recommended.
