Meteorology 301: Atomospheric Conditions

This course is designed to give you a broad and macro perspective of our atmosphere which is the big umbrella or stage where our weather occurs on Planet Earth. If there were no clouds, rain, sun, snow, or air to breathe, life could not exist. This course is designed to show you the dynamic relationship between weather, climate, and the atmosphere that all work together top provide balance to our planet's ecosystem. I also touch on some sustainability measures used by our weather forecasters to combat the rising pollution of our atmospheric ozone layer.

I cover the basic makeup of our atmosphere from oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide to the basic cloud formations that are present in the sky. The levels of the atmosphere are discussed in detail providing you with a framework to do field labs on seeing the layers of clouds for yourself wherever you may live.  Watching the Weather Channel or Accuweather is nice but understanding what goes into making the weather graphs makes this course invaluable for you.

The atmosphere was designed to sustain life at all levels but it must be taken care of and it must be respected. This course will give you the weather tools you need to explore our atmosphere in a safe and fun way.
