Students use a state-of-the-art Weather Center and computer-equipped classrooms to understand and forecast complex atmospheric phenomena
ranging from severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, to cyclones, fronts and jet
streams, to global climate and how it is changing. Emphasis is placed on
applying theory to operational weather forecasting and decision making for
weather-sensitive industries, including possible hands-on experience as a
meteorology intern. |
