Global Weather expands on concepts introduced in the Fundamentals of Weather. You may choose to take this course for general interest or because the far horizon tempts you to sail beyond sheltered waters.

In this course you will study topics like El Niño, summer monsoons, or lake effect snows. Work with measurements such as air pressure, temperature, dew point and wind direction/speed to sharpen your forecasting skills.

Appreciate the inner workings of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and chinooks. Develop skills in offshore sailing and advance planning including the use of weather services and interpreting data.

Whatever your reasons, “Global Weather” is your chance to study the weather in all its moods.
