What are the course deliverables?
- The role of air, water, and wind in weather systems
- How to estimate local wind speed and direction
- How to avoid being struck by lightning
- How to identify cloud types and features
- How to describe the attributes of thunderstorms and tornadoes
- How to collect and interpret data and observations to predict the next day’s weather
More about this course
- The weather forecasts we see every day are based an army of meteorological sensing networks and intensive computer modeling
- Before the rise of these technologies, forecasts were made by understanding cloud formations and wind directions
- This course will explore the science behind weather systems by teaching the observational skills needed to make a forecast without using instruments or computer models. ll discuss the physical processes driving weather and the global forces that shape global climate systems
- Finally, we will examine the limits of prediction in both human observations and computer models
