learning outcomes for our students Demonstrate mastery of the fundamental principles governing the atmosphere and the processes characteristic of the atmosphere across spatial and temporal scales. Demonstrate integrated knowledge of the earth as a system, specifically the linkages between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere, the geosphere, and the biosphere. Apply diagnostic and prognostic tools and technology to effectively and efficiently evaluate atmospheric processes across a multitude of scales to answer relevant scientific questions within and related tot he atmospheric sciences. Apply critical and analytical thinking as well as practical tools to solve problems in both individual and collaborative settings across the atmospheric sciences, to help students develop skills for lifelong learning. Effectively communicate scientific information in oral and written form at an appropriate level for their audience. Know and employ the proper ethical conduct within meteorology and the atmospheric sciences regarding professional conduct and what the science can and cannot accurately and adequately predict [see (AMS Guidelines for Professional Conduct; Article XII of the AMS Constitution) https://www.ametsoc.org/AMs/about-ams/ams-organization-and-administration/constitution-and-bylaws/] Create new knowledge or synthesize existing knowledge within the atmospheric sciences or between the atmospheric sciences and other disciplines, through a capstone experience such as an authentic research, internship, or outreach activity.
