538 Atmospheric Convection (3 credits) |
|
 Purpose and Content The goal of this course is to introduce students to the dynamics of atmospheric convection. Starting from basic principles, the first portion of the course considers the classical theory of dry convection. The second part of the course deals with the parent environments, characteristics, and governing dynamics of deep, moist convection. Time permitting, convection initiation and other forecasting applications may be discussed. |
