ATSC 5005 - Microphysics

Institution:

University of Wyoming

Subject:

ATSC

Description:

Microphysical observations of clouds and precipitation are first briefly surveyed. Thermodynamic equilibria in multiphase microphysical systems are then examined, as are homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, and diffusional and collisional processes leading to time-dependent changes in hydrometeor size. Embedded in these discussions are elementary considerations of single particle mechanics and hydrodynamics. Prerequisites: ATSC 5001, 5002 and 5003.
