64504	Discussion/ Recitation	RS	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	Atmospheric Sciences Bldg	Sriver, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/16-12/07/16 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Physical Oceanography Section Info: The course will include descriptive and quantitative analyses of the physical properties and dynamics of the global oceans. Key concepts will include: physical properties of sea water, wind-driven and themahaline circulations, heat storage and transport, vertical diffusion and upwelling, water mass formations, ocean-atmosphere interactions, equatorial dynamics, and the role of the ocean in Earth's climate system.
66574	Laboratory-Discussion	ZW	8:00AM -9:20AM	TR	Atmospheric Sciences Bldg	Wang, Z	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/16-12/07/16 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Climate Variability and Predic Section Info: The course takes the lecture (50%) and lab (50%) format and focuses on climate variability and prediction on the subseasonal to interannual time scales. In the first part of the course, we will discuss the sources of predictability including the major climate modes (such as the MJO, the ENSO and the NAO), soil moisture and sea ice. In the second part of the course, students will be introduced to the operational prediction products and the commonly used statistical prediction tools. Through hand-on data analysis, students will develop a deep understanding of the characteristics and mechanisms of the major climate modes, and develop the capability to apply different statistical methods and prediction skill metrics. Held in the Atmospheric Sciences Building, Room 100 (Synoptic Lab) - 105 S Gregory Street, Urbana
