This course will introduce the key aspects involved in understanding weather patterns and our changing climate. By studying atmospheric layering and function, the Earth-Sun relationship, and the air mass modification and air circulation patterns within the troposphere, meteorological phenomenon are classified and described with common examples. Components critical for climate characterization are explored in order to understand global climate change, human activities causing global warming, and social disparity that creates inequities in severe weather danger, mitigation and response.
