Atmospheric Dynamics Course
The Atmospheric Dynamics Course equips learners with essential skills to master coastal weather forecasting. Participants explore lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability analysis including CAPE, skew-T log-P diagrams, upper-air dynamics, jet streams, and frontogenesis. By engaging with real observational data, reanalysis datasets, and structured workflows, students learn to interpret weather maps, diagnose vertical motions, and produce reliable forecast messages and alerts for informed environmental decisions.

What will I learn?
This course delivers practical tools for analysing and predicting swift coastal weather shifts. Key topics include lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability metrics like CAPE, skew-T analysis, upper-level dynamics, jet stream patterns, and frontogenesis processes. Learners handle authentic observational data, reanalysis products, and systematic methods to decipher maps, evaluate vertical motion, and generate precise, actionable forecasts and warnings.
