Introduction to Meteorology
Announcements
I have graded the first exam. The mean is 69.8 and the standard deviation is 14.6. You will find your grade posted on Moodle.
Since my daughter will be born this week, we'll need to make some adjustments to the syllabus. We have already covered radar and satellite, and we will skip stability for now, so beginning on Wednesday (10/1) the next topics will be air masses, fronts, and mid-latitude cyclones. That should bring us to Fall Break. The notes are posted below.
Note that you have another homework assignment designed to reinforce the lecture material from your guest lecturers through Fall Break. Until I return after Fall Break, you may e-mail me with questions. If you prefer personal communication, any other ATMS professor is ready and willing to help.
