Journal Assignment 1 Due: October 10
A significant departure this year is to place greater emphasis on scientific literacy. That is, knowing not just what is in the course text, but also the other sources for information. This first exercise is simple and will not task your brain.
Non-technical Journals
A variety of journals focus on weather that are not particularly technical in terms of their presentation. That does not mean that the information content is necessarily low; rather the intended audience falls asleep when equations are presented. Some of the journals include Weather , Weatherwise , National Weather Digest , and a bunch of others that are available in the Marriott Library.
This assignment is simple. Go to the Marriott Library and find one of these journals. Find an article related to weather prediction or applications of basic meteorological principles. The article should be more than a couple of pages in length.
Write a short (few paragraph) summary of the article. Be sure to include the journal issue and authors. Send your summary to me by e-mail to jhorel@atmos.met.utah.edu.
