ATM F693 Intro
to Computational Meteorology 1.0
CR
Course will introduce basic knowledge on how to apply software related
to atmospheric sciences problems. This includes knowledge of UNIX/LINUX,
FORTRAN90, IDL, ncl, MathLab and how to read NetCDF files, gribb-files,
etc., which are special data formats in which climate data are available.
Students will learn how to run given software products on UNIX/LINUX and
other platforms and basic tools to modify these programs for their purposes.
Prerequisites: Graduate standing.

401/601 (3 credits) INTRODUCTION
TO ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE
cross-listed
with CHEM601
Instructor: Prof. N Mölders
Tuesdays and Thursdays time and location see above
Introduction
to atmospheric science includes the thermodynamics and dynamics of properties
of constituent gases, energy and mass conservation in the atmosphere,
internal energy and entropy in dry and moist processes (cloud physics
and cloud microphysics), water vapor in the atmosphere, static and conditional
stability, non-internal equations of motion, hydrostatics, geostropy,
and general circulation. Chemistry discussions includes thermodynamic
equilibrium and kinetic processes in the atmosphere, role of photolysis
and gas phase oxidation processes, heterogeneous and aqueous chemistry,
origin of the ozone, layer, fundamentals of biogeochemical cycles (e.g.,
CO2, H2O, nitrogen, etc.). Radiation discussion includes solar and terrestrial
radiation, major absorbers, radiation balance, radiative equilibrium, radiative-convective
equilibrium, basics of molecular, aerosol, and cloud adsorption and scattering.
Interactions of the global energy, water, and trace gas cycle are discussed.
This class is mandatory for all atmospheric science students (master and Ph.D.) as it provides the fundamentals for the other mandatory classes of the atmospheric science program.
