Atmospheric Sciences

Description:

A collaborative learning course in conjunction with the American Meteorological Society (AMS) designed to focus on principles of oceanic analysis of digitally delivered near real-time environmental data and learning activities. The course utilizes the display and analysis of oceanic data with applications designed to be modified for use in other instructional formats. Specifically, it is designed to be a study of the four main branches of oceanography: 1) geology of the oceanic basins (origins of the oceans, structure and geomorphology of the ocean's floor, methods of investigation); 2) chemistry of the ocean waters; 3) physics of the oceans (currents, waves, tides, etc.); 4) biology of the oceans (marine plants and animals). The course relies on data and support of the American Meteorological Society.
