Atmospheric Science and Meteorology Topics and Concepts in Canadian Universities
What do Atmospheric Science and Meteorology Students Learn?
Like other scientists, atmospheric scientists collect and interpret data, design experiments and equipment, and advance theories in an attempt to predict patterns and solve problems. This particular program deals with the atmosphere from the global level—as a rotating layer of gas following the principles of geophysical fluid dynamics—to the molecular—for example, in the study of the chemical composition of acid rain. Students also learn to work with the technology (from Doppler radar to computer simulations) involved in the study of the Earth’s atmosphere. Atmospheric science programs may be combined with a variety of other programs such as chemistry, physics, oceanography, astronomy, computer science, and applied mathematics to enhance postgraduate studies or marketability in the workplace.
