Chapter 8, Atmosphere - Introduction (seasons)
Turner's Workbook on Atmospheric Dispersion - Most atmospheric dispersion calculations are now done with computer models. However hand calcuations teach intuitive insight into how the computer models work and how we deal with dispersion. This classic text provides an excellent introduction to fundamental concepts at the level we have time to deal with in this class. |

Grades
Grading will consist of 2 midterm exams (50%),
quizzes (25%), and a final exam (25%). The score on
the final may be substituted for the score on one of the midterm
exams or the quizzes. The final exam will serve as a makeup exam
if required. The quizzes will be open book and given at least once
per week.
Tests will be part open book and part closed book. Open book tests allow for use of the textbood, and one page of student notes. Closed book portions allow for one page of notes. The tests will cover class lectures, assigned homework, and assigned reading. Some old tests are included as links on this web page. |
Policy on Cheating
Students are expected to be above reproach in all scholastic activities. Students who engage in scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the possibility of failure in the course and dismissal from the university. "Scholastic dishonesty included but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts." Regents' Rules and regulations, Part One, Chapter VI, Section 3, Subsection 3.2, Subdivision 3.22. Since, scholastic dishonesty harms the individual, all students, and the integrity of the university, policies on scholastic dishonesty will be strictly enforced. In short, cheating will not be tolerated. |
Class Format
The class will generally consist of short lectures followed by problem solving sessions. Some of the problem solving sessions are intended to promote thought and discussion; others are to work through homework. It is expected that the student will have read the relevant chapter and worked all assigned homework prior to coming to class. A portion of the class will be online.
