Atmospheric Physics and Dynamics Colleges

Students of atmospheric physics study the movements and interactions of atmospheric phenomena—particularly as they relate to terrestrial and solar phenomena. Students of these programs must study cloud and precipitation physics, solar radiation transfer, active and passive remote sensing, atmospheric electricity and acoustics, atmospheric wave phenomena, turbulence and boundary layers, solar wind, geomagnetic storms, coupling, natural plasma, and energization.
