The Atmospheric Sciences subplan will allow students to focus on various weather, climate, and hydrometeorological phenomena that impact our daily lives, property, businesses, military operations, and even physical and mental health. Areas of applications for Atmospheric Scientists occur in the topics of weather/climate analysis, atmospheric chemistry, radiation and remote sensing, climate change, severe weather, and planetary science.
One of the unique parts of this subplan includes the link to what happens when precipitation hits the Earth’s surface as well. Students will participate in various hydrology courses in order to more fully understand the impacts of precipitation on the ground. This degree adheres to the requirements of the National Weather Service (NWS), the American Meteorological Society (AMS), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
