    Description
    Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in GEOG 003 or METEOR 003. Previous completion of GEOG 003 or METEOR 003 with a grade of "C" or better is allowable. Same as METEOR 004. Credit not given for both courses. This course supplements the material of Geography 003 or Meteorology 003. Students participate in laboratory exercises to increase their understanding of weather and climatological processes on the Earth, to develop skills using meteo- rological instruments and observations, to appraise Earth-Sun relationships and energy balances as they impact temperature, to identify the major atmosphere-hy- drosphere interactions related to humidity, clouds and precipitation, to identify and analyze the factors that contribute to pressure patterns, winds and storms and to demonstrate an understanding of the factors which control climate develop- ment. Tools used for laboratory inquiry may include various weather charts and maps, satellite images, selected weather instruments and computer programs.
