BSc or BA (120 credit hour) Concentrated Honours in Physics - Atmospheric Dynamics I PHYC 4411   Atmospheric Dynamics I
CREDIT HOURS: 3
The basic laws of fluid dynamics are applied to studies of atmospheric motion, including the atmospheric boundary layer and synoptic scale weather disturbances (the familiar highs and lows on weather maps). Emphasis will be placed on the blend of mathematical theory and physical reasoning which leads to the best understanding of the dominant physical mechanisms.
