What will I learn?
This course provides essential tools for analysing and predicting fast-changing coastal weather. Explore lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability, CAPE, skew-T log-P diagrams, upper-air dynamics, jet streams, and frontogenesis. Apply real observational data, reanalysis products, and structured workflows to interpret weather maps, assess vertical motion, and produce reliable forecast messages and warnings.
