Global Weather expands on concepts introduced in the
Fundamentals of Weather. You may choose to take this course for general
interest or because the far horizon tempts you to sail beyond sheltered
waters.
In this course you will study topics like El Niño, summer monsoons, or
lake effect snows. Work with measurements such as air pressure,
temperature, dew point and wind direction/speed to sharpen your
forecasting skills.
Appreciate the inner workings of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and
chinooks. Develop skills in offshore sailing and advance planning
including the use of weather services and interpreting data.
Whatever your reasons, “Global Weather” is your chance to study the
weather in all its moods.
