Flow of classes in MET major…
• Freshman year: MET 10– Qualitative survey (no math)
• Sophomore year: MET 60,61– Quantitative survey (with math)

Flow of classes in MET major…
• Freshman year: MET 10– Qualitative survey (no math)
• Sophomore year: MET 60,61– Quantitative survey (with math)
• Junior year: MET 121A,B (dynamics), 124– Fluid dynamics (lots of math)
– Physical Met (math & physics)

Goals of MET 60, 61…
1) Survey the material More depth than in MET 10 Less depth than in MET 121,124 etc.
2) Show you that an understanding of the atmosphere is gained by using principals of physics, as well as math skills.
Often also need computing skills Analysis of vast amounts of data Computer simulation of atmospheric phenomena

Review/overview
Atmospheric Science (Meteorology) – the study of atmospheres, their structure, behavior and evolution.
Also the study of atmospheric phenomena – their structures and behavior.
Mid-latitude storms, El Niño, Santa Ana wind, thunderstorms, climate change etc.
A young science – still dynamic and growing!
