Atmospheric Dynamics Course
Master coastal weather forecasting through the Atmospheric Dynamics Course. Gain skills to analyse fronts, jets, stability indices, and real observational data like ERA5 reanalysis. Develop workflows to interpret maps, diagnose vertical motion, and produce clear, actionable forecast messages for environmental decisions. Ideal for building confidence in predicting rapid coastal weather shifts using thermodynamics, upper-air dynamics, and frontogenesis principles.

What will I learn?
This Atmospheric Dynamics Course equips you with practical tools to understand and predict rapid coastal weather changes. Explore lower-troposphere thermodynamics, stability analysis, CAPE calculations, and skew-T log-P diagrams. Advance to upper-air dynamics, jet stream features, and frontogenesis processes. Hands-on work with real observational data, ERA5 reanalysis, and structured workflows enables you to interpret weather maps, diagnose vertical motion, and create confident forecast messages and alerts.
