Course
News- Welcome to Online
Meteorology. By now you should have
picked up your text and Investigations Manual and have looked at the course
homepage (this one). Get into a routine of looking at the homepage each day,
reading over the Daily
Summary on the Datastreme Atmosphere homepage,
then working on the assignments for each week. While the Datastreme
Atmosphere homepage is in real-time, your assignments below have been
archived and will be mostly from the fall (since our quarters begin before
their semester course). Then email (preferable) or fax (323-343-6494) your
work to me. Week 8, do
chapter 10 including the application sections in the lab manual. Week 9, do Chapter 11 everything. Monday is
a holiday (May 25th), but Wed will meet. Week 10, we will do the
Hurricane Katrina activity and have a finals review. 1st
