 MTY. 301.-Elements of Meteorology. 3 hours, and 3 hours laboratory.
4 credits. Prerequisite: PS. 205-206. Not offered 1952-53.
 Fundamentals of synoptic and dynamic meteorology designed to give students ma-
joring in one of the physical sciences or in engineering a basic understanding of the
atmosphere and its weather phenomena and to provide a foundation for possible further
study. Instruments and observation; atmospheric composition; adiabatic processes and
stability; atmospheric heat balance; evaporation and condensation; winds; the general
circulation; fronts, cyclones, and anticyclones; air masses; local wind systems; easterly
waves; tropical cyclones; thunderstorms; forecast methods.
 MTY. 302.-Elements of Meteorology. 3 hours, and 3 hours laboratory.
4 credits. Prerequisite: MTY. 301. The second half of MTY. 301-302. Not of-
fered 1952-53.

 MTY. 303.-Synoptic Meteorology Laboratory. 15 hours laboratory. 5
credits. Prerequisite: MTY. 202. Not offered 1952-53.
 A practical course, the goal of which is to teach the techniques of forecasting
weather. Through evaluation and interpretation of observational data, an attempt is
made to describe the current state of the weather in such terms that its future develop-
ment may be predicted.
 MTY. 304.-Synoptic Meteorology Laboratory. 15 hours laboratory. 5
credits. Prerequisite: MTY. 303. The second half of MTY. 303-304. Not offered
1952-53.

 MTY. 305.-Dynamic Meteorology. 3 hours. 3 credits. Prerequisite: PS.
205-206; MS. 353-354. Not offered 1952-53.
 To provide the theoretical background for the understanding of the physical be-
havior of the atmosphere and its motions, this course starts from pure physical theory and
attempts to develop the thermodynamical and hydrodynamical principles by which at-
mospheric phenomena and the evolution of the weather may be explained.
 MTY. 306.-Dynamic Meteorology. 3 hours. 3 credits. Prerequisite: MTY.
305. The second half of the course MTY. 305-306. Not offered 1952-53.
