Global
Weather expands on concepts introduced in the Fundamentals of
Weather. You may choose to take this course for general interest or
because the far horizon tempts you to sail beyond sheltered
waters.
In this course you will study topics like El Niño, summer
monsoons, or lake effect snows. Work with measurements such as air
pressure, temperature, dew point and wind direction/speed to sharpen your
forecasting skills.
Appreciate the inner workings of tropical
cyclones (hurricanes) and chinooks. Develop skills in offshore sailing and
advance planning including the use of weather services and interpreting
data.
Whatever your reasons, “Global Weather” is your chance to
study the weather in all its moods.
