What will I learn?
This Atmospheric Dynamics Course equips you with essential tools to analyse and predict fast-changing coastal weather. Delve into lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability assessment, CAPE calculations, and skew-T log-P diagram analysis. Progress to upper-air dynamics, including jet streams, frontogenesis, and vertical motion diagnostics. Hands-on practice with real observational data, reanalysis datasets like ERA5, and structured workflows enables you to interpret weather maps accurately and produce clear, impactful forecast messages and alerts for coastal environments.
