Description
Developed by the Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS) research
and service facility, in concert with the University of Oklahoma,
EXPLORATIONS IN METEOROLOGY places a strong emphasis on helping
students understand weather and climate by using real meteorological
data. The activities in this lab manual require that students
tap into the OCS archives of meteorological data (i.e., Oklahoma
Mesonet, Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM), and National
Weather Service data sets) in order to complete meteorological
exercises. Full-color pictures and data graphs, help students
visually understand weather and severe weather topics. The
lab manual also challenges university students by providing
optional questions intended for honors students, making this
lab manual appropriate for both introductory and honors meteorology
courses. |
