ENVB 301 Meteorology

This course discusses the fundamental processes related to the study of the earth’s weather systems. It is intended both for students who have an interest in the favourite topic of conversation of most Canadians and also for those who will pursue careers in environmental fields. Emphasis will be placed on atmospheric moisture, temperature and wind relationships resulting in cloud formation and precipitation. Students completing this course should: have gained an understanding of the processes behind the creation of weather patterns and phenomena; be able to discuss the weather with an understanding of consequences for day to day life; and be well placed to apply this understanding in their degree programs and future career choices.
