Have a more detailed understanding of the greenhouse effect, what causes it, and how it interacts with climate change
Have a basic understanding of how the atmosphere moves heat around, how that causes winds and the jet stream, and what implications this has for the earth system. Specifically when it comes to rainfall events.
Be able to understand the conditions that led up to Winter Storm Elliot and how climate change can affect the frequency of incursions of the polar vortex southward and bomb cyclones
