ATMS 120
Severe and Hazardous Weather

Credit:  3 hours.

This course satisfies the General Education Criteria for a
Physical Sciences course.

(ATMOS 120) Most extreme manifestations of weather and climate are analyzed in terms of their physical basis and their historical, economic and human consequences. Emphasis is placed on the interplay between technological advances, the evolution of meteorology as a science, and the impacts of extreme weather (winter storms, floods, severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, El Nino). Technological advances include satellites, weather radars and profilers, and computer models used for weather prediction.
