AEN 461 LEARNING OBJECTIVES CHAPTER 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES What are some basic concepts regarding the atmosphere and weather? After reading this chapter, the student should be able to: - list some sources of daily weather information. - identify the principal weather systems that are plotted on surface weather maps. - describe some of the properties of weather systems including highs, lows, and fronts. - define the common parameters used to describe the state of the atmosphere. - distinguish between visible and infrared satellite images. - explain the advantages of satellite observation of the atmosphere. - present the basic principle of weather radar. - provide some examples of how observations of the sky provide indications of future weather. The purpose of this opening chapter is to introduce the student to basic characteristics of weather. We cover some of the sources of weather information including television, the Internet, and NOAA Weather Radio. Using the surface weather map as a reference, we describe the most common weather systems, including lows, highs, and fronts. We then list and define the various parameters that are commonly used to describe the state of the atmosphere (e.g., maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity). The chapter closes with a brief description of satellite images, radar displays, and some advice on observing the changing conditions of the sky. === CHAPTER 2 LEARNING OBJECTIVES What is the composition and structure of the atmosphere? After reading this chapter, the student should be able to: - distinguish between weather and climate. - describe the principal events and processes in the evolution of Earth’s atmosphere. - distinguish between the homosphere and the heterosphere. - explain the significance of minor components of the atmosphere. - illustrate the scientific method. - demonstrate the value of models in scientific investigations. - explain how meteorologists monitor surface and up
