ATMS 745 - Atmospheric Turbulence (3 units)
Mechanical and statistical theory of turbulence. Application to convection, eddy diffusion, temperature and wind profiles.
Prerequisite(s): ATMS 411 OR ATMS 611. Corequisite(s): ATMS 417 OR ATMS 617.
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Spring - Odd Years
Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course:
1. Students will be able to demonstrate understanding of the theory of turbulence and the additional complexities of turbulence in the atmosphere.
2. Students will be able to derive the governing equations for mass, momentum, and energy transport.
3. Students will be able to demonstrate statistical methods used to describe and characterize atmospheric turbulence.
4. Students will be able to demonstrate awareness of modeling limitations for atmospheric turbulence - including surface fluxes and pollutant transport.
5. Students will be able to demonstrate enhanced computational skills for time series analysis, solving mathematical equations, and statistical methods.
6. Students will be able to use atmospheric measurement data to calculate surface fluxes, turbulence statistics, and additional variables.
7. Students will be able to demonstrate understanding of turbulence in the atmosphere and apply the understanding to future research problems.
