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. Each week complete the Investigations questions,
such as Investigations 1A and 1B in week 1, as well as the online Current
Weather Studies activities, such as Week 1-CWS A and B (posted below).
Answers should be transferred to the CWS and Investigations Answers files
provided below. 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homepage is in real-time, your assignments below have been archived and will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 6: Read chapters 6 & 7 and do CWS and Invest.
Questions for both chapters Week 7: Read chapters 8 and 9 and do CWS and Invest.

meteorology course looks at the changing patterns of weather and climate and
the processes that are responsible for all the atmosphere’s various features. Tentative Schedule While the lecture portion of the course will be online,
with links to readings, assignments, and resources, there will also be an
on-campus lab section. You may either
take the Mon or Wed lab at 10:50-1:20 pm KH D-4046. I encourage you to attend
all lab sessions as I will highlight chapter material and go over lab
assignments. The lab also gives you an opportunity to ask questions in-person
and to interact with other students. |
