What will I learn?
Explore practical techniques for forecasting fast-changing coastal weather in this Atmospheric Dynamics Course. Delve into lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability analysis, CAPE calculations, and skew-T log-P diagrams, progressing to upper-air patterns like jets and frontogenesis. Hands-on experience with real observational data, reanalysis datasets, and structured workflows will enable you to interpret weather maps, identify vertical motions, and produce reliable forecast products and warnings.
