On Successful completion of the course Students will be able to:-
- Explain how the ocean circulation works, how it interacts with the climate system and Ocean atmosphere interaction.
- Understand Physical Properties of sea water and its distribution.
- Understand and explain Global Ocean Heat budget.
- Understand Ocean currents and water masses.
- Properly distinguish and describe wave, tide, Estuaries, Seiches, Internal waves and storm surges.
- Understand Oceanic data observing Instruments, its types, importance and data observation system.
Dear MHS-G2 students the course contained eight chapters, one laboratory
demonstration and one Computer base lab practices. For the laboratory demonstration and
computer base practice, I will try to make video and upload in to video folder
and will discuss via forum.
At the end of the course students will be able to:-
- Understand energy balance and the global climate system
- Distinguish general principles of atmospheric motion and global circulation
- Identify Tropical variability and its distribution
- Explain Tropical cyclone development, intensity, and extratropical transition
- Teacher: Amba Shalishe
Course Objectives
- To give an overview of technical standards of synoptic information and its transmission
- Capability of coding and decoding synoptic observations, capability of plotting station information into weather charts (station model for surface and upper level charts)
- To achieve practical experience in weather analysis techniques: e.g. analyzing basic station information given in station data (e.g. surface pressure charts) and deducing active weather systems in the charts (e.g. fronts, convergence lines, etc.)
- To get familiar with basic forecast techniques and interpretation of available numerical forecast products (e.g. from different providers as ECMWF, NCEP/NCAR, etc.)
- To develop practical experience in the application of the basic techniques in weather analysis and forecasting
- To develop knowledge and techniques in weather analysis and forecasting
