Climate and Atmospheric Physics Laboratory

This course will take a hands-on approach to learning climate and atmospheric physics. Some of the topics covered will include the Greenhouse effect, hurricanes, climate variability, the jet stream, and global climate modeling. Students will learn to create effective data visualizations and read scientific literature. Each week will have one 165-minute session to perform laboratory experiments, run models, or analyze data. In this flipped-classroom environment, knowledge transfer will occur primarily outside of class through readings and pre-class assignments in preparation for each session.
Course Notes:
E-PSCI 129 is also offered as ESE 129. Students may not take both for credit. For SB students: this course can only count as a science elective in the concentration requirements, and SB students must enroll in E-PSCI 129. AB students may enroll in either E-PSCI 129 or ESE 129 to meet their concentration requirements. This course fulfills the EPS sub-discipline requirement of Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans.
