Atmospheric Dynamics Course
Dive into Atmospheric Dynamics to master coastal weather forecasting. Gain skills in analysing fronts, jets, stability indices like CAPE, and using real observational data plus reanalysis tools such as ERA5. Develop the ability to interpret skew-T diagrams, diagnose vertical motion, and produce reliable forecasts and alerts for environmental decisions, all through practical workflows with genuine datasets.

What will I learn?
This course equips you with essential tools for understanding and predicting fast-changing coastal weather. Explore lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability analysis including CAPE, and skew-T log-P diagrams. Advance to upper-air dynamics, jet streams, and frontogenesis processes. Hands-on practice with real observational data, reanalysis products like ERA5, and structured workflows enables you to interpret weather maps accurately, diagnose vertical motions, and create precise, actionable forecast messages and warnings.
