課程概述 |
This course explores how and why Earth’s climate comes about. We will not only introduce what a
typical weather condition is over each region on Earth, but also how and why climate, statistic of
weather, varies geographically and even temporally throughout the earth’s history. To understand how
climate system works, this course discuss concepts of radiative transfer, fluid dynamics, and
thermodynamics, with an emphasis of providing an overview of a few physical balances that are
important for shaping and maintaining the surface climate: energy balance and its role in controlling
temperatures; the hydrologic cycle and its role in controlling humidity and aridity; angular
momentum balance and its role in controlling winds. |
|
課程目標 |
There are two main goals for this course:
(1) Essential puzzles: have a solid theoretical understanding of the mechanisms shaping the climate
system
(2) Big picture: understand the key factors influencing various mechanisms, apply the theories to the
real world and understand their limitations
To reach these goals, we design a series of activities for you to experience how scientists use models,
observations, and theory to understand past and current climate and make predictions for future
climate. |
|
課程要求 |
The course is designed to serve as a capstone project for Seniors majoring Atmospheric Sciences.
Students are expected to bring all of the related knowledge and skills into the course.
Students from other departments with strong motivations are more than welcome to talk to the
instructor before taking the course. |
