What will I learn?
This Atmospheric Dynamics Course provides essential tools for understanding and predicting swift coastal weather shifts. Delve into lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability analysis, CAPE calculations, and skew-T log-P diagrams, progressing to upper-air dynamics, jet stream patterns, and frontogenesis processes. Engage with authentic observational data, reanalysis datasets, and structured workflows to analyse weather maps, evaluate vertical motions, and develop confident forecast products and warnings.
