Introduction to the Fundamentals of Atmospheric Science (CLIM-111 & CLIM112)Instructor: Drs. Zafer Boybeyi and Michael E. SummersOffered in: Spring, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 2022 & 2023 Credit: 4 Credits General Education in Natural Science/Laboratory (3 Credits Lecture + 1 Credit Lab) Content:
This course gives an overview of the Earth's atmosphere, its history, and the
fundamental physical and chemical processes which determine its characteristics.
The focus is on key concepts from thermodynamics, radiation, chemistry, and dynamics
that are essesntial for understanding the state, variability, and long term evolution
of the atmosphere, especially in the context of comparisons with other planetary
atmospheres.
CLIM-111 Course (3-Credits):
The overarching goal of this course is to provide the students with a
"big-picture" view of the field of atmospheric science as it relates to
understanding the Earth's atmosphere, its complex history, its expected
future evolution, and human influences.
CLIM-112 Lab (1-Credit):
The laboratory section is designed to enhance learning by applying the
information acquired in the lecture portion of the course. The student
will engage in activities that are designed to expand and enrich the
learning process through the use of state-of-the-art computer simulations
that illustrate the complex phenomena that occur in the atmospheres of the
Earth and other planets.
