Prerequisites: MAT2010, MAA2011, MAA2032.
An introductory course in meteorology is offered through the Centre for Dynamical Meteorology and Oceanography and the Department of Mathematics. A graduate course leading to an MSc in meteorology by coursework and minor thesis is also offered, either on a full-time or part-time basis.
The subjects MAA3111 and MAA3122 are designed for students in the physical sciences who are interested in applying their training in mathematics, physics, chemistry or computer science to atmospheric investigations. The subjects are designed to give a thorough grounding in physical and dynamical aspects of meteorology. The lecture course for MAA3111 is supplemented by a weekend field course held during the first semester. Students interested in proceeding further with meteorology are advised to enrol also in MAA3102 and MAA3011. An honours program is available as part of MAA4000, for students of sufficient calibre who wish to continue in this field.
