METR 3390 Meteorological Instrumentation
This course examines different measurement techniques and the instrumentation used in atmospheric sciences. The course will consist of lecture, an associated laboratory and field
work. The course will introduce students to the fundamentals of instrument response, techniques of instrument calibration, deployment, and data acquisition. Students will become familiar with instrument specifications, fundamental operation, surface and upper-air measurement techniques. Remote sensing instruments such as Satellites, SODAR and Radar, will be introduced in
preparation for METR 3310 Radar Meteorology and METR 3360 Satellite Meteorology. This course has a companion lab course METR 3391 that must be taken concurrently. Prerequisites: METR 1430, MATH 2312, MATH 2313, MATH 3314, PHYS 2305, and PHYS 2306.
