This physical geography course introduces the fundamentals of climatology and meteorology. The various physical properties of the atmosphere are studied with respect to both their dynamics and their regional expression. Emphasis is placed on energy and moisture balances along with their associated spatial and temporal variations around the globe. By the end of this course, students will be able to analyze meteorological data and identify real-world weather phenomena. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 2 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): 3 credit units of Science courses and 21 credit units of additional University course work.Note: GEOG 120 is recommended.
