Radars remotely observe and monitor conditions in the atmosphere. This class will provide an overview of how radars are constructed, how they operate, the types of atmospheric phenomena they observe, radar characteristics and interpretation of radar data for various meteorological/atmospheric phenomena, and ways that radar data can be utilized operationally and for research purposes. Prereq: Geog 5940 and AtmosSc 5401.
