AES 401/501 Atmospheric Physics

Credits: (3-0) 3

An introduction to physical processes that govern the behavior of the atmosphere. Topics will include atmospheric thermodynamics; absorption, scattering and radiative transfer; convective motion, troposheric chemistry, cloud and precipitation development; and atmospheric electricity.

Prerequisites:  

For AES 401, PHYS 213 , MATH 321 , and AES 404/504  are required. For AES 501, graduate standing is required.
