Atmospheric Dynamics Course
The Atmospheric Dynamics Course equips learners with essential skills to master coastal weather forecasting. Participants explore lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability metrics like CAPE, skew-T analysis, upper-air dynamics including jets and frontogenesis. Using real observational data, reanalysis products, and structured workflows, students learn to interpret maps, diagnose vertical motion, and produce clear, actionable forecast messages and alerts for informed environmental decisions.
