Synoptic Meteorology: Weather Map Analysis and Forecasting

Atmospheric Structure and Composition → Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) Basics

This learning path guides atmospheric science students through the fundamental concepts and skills needed to analyze synoptic weather patterns and produce informed forecasts. Starting with the basic structure of the atmosphere, it progresses through pressure systems, air masses, fronts, and upper-level dynamics, culminating in the synthesis of these elements into comprehensive weather forecasting. The path emphasizes hands-on analysis of weather maps and the interpretation of meteorological data.
