課程簡介 透過深入淺出的介紹,讓同學具備基本的氣象知識。
課程目標 對應系所核心能力
1. 具備基本的氣象知識 學士:
 1-1 了解地理學知識的基本內涵,包括理論概念、區域特色等

二、教學大綱
授課教師 翁叔平
教學進度與主題
1.explain the difference between weather and climate (L1)
2.describe what makes up the atmosphere and its structure (L2)
3.summarize the history of the study of the atmosphere (L1)
4.explain how the basic forms of energy contribute to our daily weather (L2)
5.describe how the exchange of energy regulates the Earth`s temperature (the so-called greenhouse effect), thereby the seasons (L2)
6.describe how the evaporation and condensation of water impacts the atmosphere (L3; L4)
7.explain how the vertical motion of air determines how and where clouds form and whether those clouds produce rain/snow (L5; L6)
8.describe what causes air molecules to move and explain what that has to do with global wind patterns (L7; L8; L9)
9.describe how the different regions of the atmosphere form and how the regions interact to produce our weather (L10; L11; L13)
10.explain how patterns of differences and interactions allow us to predict the weather (L14)
11.explain how thunderstorms and tornadoes originate, mature, and then die out (L12)
12.explain what causes the climate to vary naturally and how human activity is likely changing the climate (L15).
