MEA 421 Atmospheric Dynamics I
Meteorological applications of fluid kinematics: divergence, vorticity, deformation, advection, mass continuity and vertical motion. Atmospheric dynamics: the equation of motion on a rotating earth; component equations in Cartesian, polar-sphericaland pressure coordinates. Scale analysis and simplifications. Cases of horizontal flow: geostrophic and gradient wind, ageostrophy and acceleration; thermal wind and vorticity.
Typically offered in Fall only
Marine Sciences (BS): Meteorology Concentration
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Marine Sciences may be obtained by selecting one of five concentrations: Biological Oceanography, Chemistry, Geology, Meteorology, or Physics.聽 The concentrations are designed to facilitate minoring or double majoring in the science cognates.
Meteorology (Minor)
/undergraduate/sciences/marine-earth-atmospheric-sciences/meteorology-minor/
The Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences offers a minor in Meteorology to majors in any field except meteorology. This program provides a means of recognition for students in related fields, especially Science and Engineering, who are interested in application of physical principles to the atmospheric environment.聽Students graduating with a minor in Meteorology are well prepared for jobs that require inter-disciplinary training such as scientific computing and data analysis.
