PHYS 243 - Meteorology for Aviators

Credit Hours: 3

Meteorology is the science of weather and climate. The material covered will include a study of the pressure, temperature, and density profiles of the atmosphere and the development of temperature, pressure, and moisture variances from the standard atmosphere. Winds, clouds, and temperature changes will be studied. Rain, snow, fog, storms, the jet stream, optical effects, and their application to flight will be addressed. There are no explicit prerequisites, but knowledge of basic algebra is needed.
