This off-campus, experiential learning field course allows students to directly observe deep, moist atmospheric convection (thunderstorms) and associated phenomena through a 10-day field trip to the U.S. Central Plains, including daily morning and evening weather forecast discussions, identifying radar-based storm characteristics, and use observations to determine likelihood of server weather. Prereq: 2940 or Geog 5900; and AtmosSc 5940; and permission of instructor.
