Meteorology seeks to understand the behavior and predictability of the Earth's atmosphere and requires good foundations in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science. Required undergraduate meteorology courses are combined with courses in other disciplines to develop an academic background that is appropriate for a variety of employment opportunities. Graduate students receive advanced training in meteorology and usually perform research under the direction of a faculty adviser in specialty fields that include climate modeling, cloud physics, dynamic meteorology, numerical weather prediction, large-scale and mesoscale modeling, remote sensing, radiative transfer, and synoptic meteorology.

Extractions: Adapted to the World Wide Web from a file on the University of Michigan Gopher. Another adaptation was done on a file describing techniques for making weather observations at the schools so the students can contribute their own observations to the online database. Weather forecasting is a science and an art. To make a good forecast you must know some meteorology and have a hunch what is going to happen based on experience. Forecasting temperature and precipitation will be discussed here since they are the most relevant parameters to the public. Before attempting to perform a weather forecast, one should understand a few key concepts in atmospheric science. These concepts include: Synoptic scale (large scale) meteorology: Air masses, fronts, and pressure systems. Mesoscale (local scale) meteorology: Effects of topography, bodies of water, the urban heat island, etc. Vertical structure of the atmosphere: How and why pressure, temperature, and density decrease with altitude. The following discussion will assume the reader is familiar with these concepts.

Extractions: The undergraduate program in meteorology and oceanography at San Francisco State University (SFSU) is administered by the Department of Geosciences. The BS in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences is unique among atmospheric and oceanic science degrees across the country in that students in both concentrations take a common 25-unit core of coursework designed to investigate the interactions between the atmosphere and oceans. The degree has six emphases within the two concentrations with specific course groupings for students interested in either meteorology or oceanography. The emphases include several developing areas of employment (applied meteorology, applied oceanography and physical oceanography) as well as the traditional areas of preparation for careers in the National Weather Service and for admission to graduate school. The Climate Change emphasis is common to both the meteorology and oceanography concentrations. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) has drafted a list of criteria to which major programs in atmospheric sciences must adhere in order to meet academic requirements. The curriculum for the meteorology concentration was developed on the bases of these criteria.

Extractions: Home What's new Access to information Public services ... Back Introduction: The scope of work of the Hong Kong Observatory has expanded considerably through the years. It now provides weather forecasting, tropical cyclone warning and various other meteorological services to meet the needs of shipping, aviation, industries and the general public. It is also involved in a wide range of other activities such as seismology, physical oceanography, radiation monitoring and assessment and the determination of the official time in Hong Kong. Training in these subjects, which are specialized in nature, is not normally available in local institutions. The department therefore organizes a comprehensive training programme of its own. Course on Meteorology of Southeast Asia (3 weeks) The Course on Meteorology of Southeast Asia aims at providing the candidates with the necessary knowledge on the meteorology of Southeast Asia and in particular, Hong Kong to prepare them for operational forecasting duties in the Central Forecasting Office of the Hong Kong Observatory. Local forecasting techniques and operational procedures will be emphasized. Qualifications for enrolment: Degree-holder of a science or engineering subject or WMO Class III meteorological personnel with equivalent knowledge in Physics and Mathematics, and at least 2 years relevant experience or equivalent and proficiency in written and spoken English.

This course will survey atmospheric thermodynamics and clouds, radiative transfer and the global energy balance, synoptic and mesoscale disturbances, and atmospheric dynamics and the general circulation. The course concentrates on concepts and practical problem solving, with derivations of formulae minimized. This course will provide an excellent head start for majors progressing toward the 400-level course sequences, or for minors hoping for a broad understanding of meteorology in relatively few courses. Grading will be based on homework problem sets and testing. Prerequisite: METR 200, MATH 106 and PHYS 211. Processes that give rise to spatial and temporal differences in climate.
