202. Introduction to Climate and Climate Change (4)
Physical, dynamical, and thermodynamic processes that govern
climate with emphasis on the atmosphere and the atmosphere and the oceans.
Topics will include energy budget of the oceans and the atmosphere,
hydrological cycle, the meridional heat transport,
and climate forcing and feedbacks that govern decadal to longer-term changes
in climate. Prerequisites: introductory courses in atmospheric sciences and
oceanography; familiarity with solutions of linear differential equations.

215. Introduction to Atmospheric Radiative
Transfer (4)
Introduces elementary concepts in electromagnetism and
quantum mechanics to explain scattering, absorption and emission by gases,
aerosols, and clouds. Elegant analytical solutions to the transfer equation
will be employed in conjunction with satellite and laboratory measurements to
consider phenomena such as the CO2 greenhouse effect, albedo
effect of clouds, color of the skies and atmospheric radiative
cooling. Prerequisites: undergraduate courses in physics and differential
calculus. Ramanathan

SIO 217C: Atmospheric; Climate Science III
A quantitative
treatment of the physical and dynamical processes that govern climate and
climate change. The emphasis will be primarily on Earth's climate. We will
invoke basic concepts you learned in physics, dynamics and mathematics and
develop the building blocks needed to understand the thermal, dynamical and
moisture structure; distribution of the surface atmosphere system. My
approach is to give you the physical insight first; and then tailor the
mathematics to develop the physical picture.
