ATM620: Climate Journal Club Seminar (Fall 2026)
This session reviews seminal and inspiring papers on weather, climate, and their interface across spatial scales from regional to global. The instructor and students take turns presenting selected papers, answering audience questions, and leading discussions.
ATM644: Synoptic Weather Analysis and Forecasting (scheduled for Spring 2027)
This course introduces the fundamental dynamics governing synoptic-scale atmospheric motions in the midlatitudes, including quasi-geostrophic dynamics and potential vorticity conservation. These principles are applied to the analysis and forecasting of various features represented on synoptic weather maps, including jet streaks, troughs & ridges, fronts, surface cyclones, blocking, atmospheric rivers, and extratropical transition. Particular emphasis is placed on the life cycle evolution of extratropical cyclones.
ATM446/646: Atmospheric Dynamics II: Climate Dynamics (scheduled for Spring 2028)
