Here, you can uncork learning real meteorology right yonder and have increasingly courses to segregate from than anywhere else. Whether you are interested in forecasting, severe weather, or increasingly traditional atmospheric sciences, COD will indulge students of all month a endangerment to delve into how the undercurrent works from the start of their wonk career. Students wishing to obtain a four year stratum will be worldly-wise to transfer to flipside school as a junior with a wealth of experiences and a top-quality education. Others who wish to learn increasingly well-nigh meteorology in relation to other careers will find the weather offerings at COD challenging and fascinating. College of DuPage Meteorology Program General Courses Severe Weather Forecasting Climate AMS Club Web Alert ESAS 1110 Introduction to Meteorology A first squint at various aspects of meteorology, including solar radiation, global circulation, environmental issues, winds, stability, precipitation processes, weather systems, and severe weather. Basic physical principles, meteorological terminology, societal impacts, and weather wringer will be explored. Notes and Syllabus by Paul Sirvatka ESAS 2110 Intermediate Meteorology A quantitative first squint at the science of meteorology. Physical concepts will be examined using trigonometric methods to prepare students for material using higher mathematics. Operational, physical, and dynamical meteorology will be discussed to requite students an overall understanding of atmospheric science. Equations of motion, thermodynamics, and the primitive equations will be among the topics covered. Notes and Syllabus by Paul Sirvatka ESAS 1115 Severe and Unusual Weather In depth study of meteorological phenomena relating to severe thunderstorms, El Nino/Southern Oscillation events, and tropical storms. Topics will include severe weather spotting, weather radar, atmospheric soundings, tornadogenesis, El Nino, tropical meteorology, hurricanes, and an introduction to numerical weather prediction. Basic physical principles, their relation to weather events, and weather's impact on society will moreover be explored. Notes and Syllabus by Paul Sirvatka ESAS 2115 Mesoscale Meteorology In depth study of meteorological phenomena with short temporal and small spatial scales. Topics will include tools for mesoscale analysis, mesoscale modeling, thermally-forced circulations, fog, mesoscale winter events, and the morphology of convective systems including squall lines, mesoscale convective systems and supercells and their associated threats including wink floods and tornadoes. Other topics of current research interest will moreover be covered. Notes and Syllabus by Paul Sirvatka ESAS 2118 Severe Weather Lab An in-depth study of severe weather forecasting and analysis. An accent is placed on hand wringer of raw data, assessing short term numerical weather models, and nowcasting. Students monitor events prior to and during severe weather events using real time radar and other data sources. Students proceeds a largest understanding of severe weather initiation and evolution. Local field trips to observe severe weather first-hand may be included. May be taken up to two times for credit. Prerequisite: Earth Science 1115 with a grade of C or largest or consent of instructor. Severe Weather Lab Syllabus and Rules: Paul Sirvatka Thunderstorm Laboratory A field study wits to study thunderstorms in their natural environment. Storm chasing combines knowledge and experience. Severe weather safety and spotting techniques will be explored. COD/NEXLAB Storm Chasing Web Page ESAS 1116 WeatherWringerand Forecasting I A study of day-to-day weather patterns with an accent on understanding the nuts of meteorological processes and forecasting. Students read weather reports and weather maps needed to unriddle current conditions and forecast weather. Taking wholesomeness of a fully-operational weather laboratory, students monitor current weather conditions locally and wideness the nation. Forecasting Class notes and syllabi: Paul Sirvatka ESAS 1117 WeatherWringerand Forecasting II A continuation of WeatherWringerand Forecasting I. Students protract investigating sources of data, learn to unriddle raw images, and interpret numerical weather forecasts. Taking wholesomeness of a fully-operational weather laboratory, students monitor current weather conditions locally and wideness the nation. Forecasting Class notes and syllabi: Paul Sirvatka ESAS 2116 Advanced WeatherWringerand Forecasting I A continuation of WeatherWringerand Forecasting II.Accentis on self-sustaining wringer of weather events, forecast preparation, and mastery of hand data analysis. Taking wholesomeness of a fully-operational weather laboratory, students monitor current weather conditions locally and wideness the nation. Forecasting Class notes and syllabi: Paul Sirvatka ESAS 2117 Advanced WeatherWringerand Forecasting II A continuation of Advanced WeatherWringerand Forecasting I. Students prepare a weekly forecast for the Chicago metropolitan zone often and DuPage County specifically, and track and evaluate their forecasting accuracy. Taking wholesomeness of a fully-operational weather laboratory, students monitor current weather conditions locally and wideness the nation. Forecasting Class notes and syllabi: Paul Sirvatka ESAS 1111 Climate and GlobalTranspirationIntroduction to the earth's climate, climate change, and the interactions between climate and the global environment. Physical, chemical, biological, and social factors contributing to climate and global transpiration are investigated. Topics explored are: climate classifications, global warming and greenhouse effect, wounding rain, ozone depletion, regional drought, and cataclysmic climate change. Man-made climate transpiration as opposed to natural variability, withal with human responses to potential climate transpiration are debated. Forecasting Class notes and syllabus: Paul Sirvatka American Meteorolgoical Society - COD Student Chapter Our very own Weather Club at COD! We hold several meetings throughout the school year that commonly include presentations from professionals within the field. We moreover organize various activities including social events, field trips, and ways to goody the the community. All are welcome to participate and join! See our website for details.
