Learning Goals
To develop a practical understanding of the principles of mid-latitude weather at the synoptic scales using dynamical and physical principles. To learn analysis and prognosis tools used to analyse current weather, and to be able to make scientifically-based short and medium term forecasts of future weather conditions. To learn how to present weather information to the public.
