ENVS 26A: Weather and MeteorologyInstructor: Sally Warner Prerequisites: Course Description: Weather is something we experience on a daily basis. It can impact our routines and our moods. When the weather is strong, it can cause huge amounts of damage and displace people from their homes. In this course, you will learn the science of meteorology in order to understand the mechanisms within the atmosphere that create weather, and why the weather varies from place to place and from day to day. Weekly discussion posts and quantitative assignments will help you to learn the science of weather and meteorology. Throughout this course, I invite you to spend the summer observing your local weather with an attentive eye. As you learn scientific concepts about the atmosphere, you will have opportunities to connect your scientific understanding to observations of your local weather. The course will culminate with a final project based on your local weather observations.
