Get hands-on experience making meteorological measurements and analyzing climate data in the beautiful Teton Mountains! In AOSS 441, you’ll be introduced to principles of atmospheric and environmental science — with the Rockies as your field laboratory. With its diverse geological and climatic variations, this is an ideal location to develop and apply an understanding of meteorological processes to define micro-climate variations in the mountains and to grasp the importance of mountainous regions on Earth’s climate. The class will spend a couple of days at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to learn from NCAR scientists how to make boundary layer measurements using advanced sounding systems and to learn about career opportunities in the Atmospheric and Climate Sciences.
