PHYS 343 - Applied Climatology

Credit Hours: 3

Applied Climatology is a survey of the weather systems that contribute in the aggregate to world climates and their cumulative influence on Earth systems. Included are presentations from an historical perspective on the development of past climatic regimes, the transition to present-era climate, and the atmospheric dynamics involved in the global change process. Emphasis is placed on developing a broad-based working knowledge of the impacts present day climate and climate-trend changes have on human activities including aviation-related practices, procedures, and operations.
