Atmospheric sciences with strong emphasis on mathematical modelingnd thermodynamics; cloud physics; synoptic analysis; remote sensing; hydrology; mesoscale circulations; climate dynamics; radiation; and weather forecasting.

Atmospheric Sciences, formerly taught in the Geosciences Department, is now a concentration in the Mathematical Sciences Department.
