Contains all the Third Year Met subjects offered during the First semester

This course is designed for the students to understand, by applying atmospheric dynamics and physical analysis techniques, mesoscale and convective-scale phenomena, including mesoscale convective systems, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, drylines, low-level jets, mountain waves and orographic precipitation, land/sea breezes, boundary layer rolls, and hurricanes.

An interdisciplinary, holistic science forming a bridge between physical and biological sciences and beyond. It deals with a complex system involving soil, plant, atmosphere, agricultural management options, and others, which are interacting dynamically on various spatial and temporal scales.

This course will discuss the equations that govern the flow of the atmosphere. Approximations to the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid flow appropriate to geophysical scale flows. Applying two key themes of rotation and stratification of the atmosphere. The spinning of the Earth, and the variation of radiation with latitude, create a playground for several waves and instabilities, driving both the weather over our heads and the undulations of the oceans.
