Synoptic Meteorology

I haven't been to all my other classes yet, but I think this will turn out to be my favorite. It's a 2.5 hour class (twice a week) which is basically talking about weather patterns and maps. The first part of the class is a lecture, the 2nd is a hands-on lab, and the third is a map discussion of today's weather and how they came up with today's forecast. The first term covers mostly observations and analysis while the second term will be on diagnosis and forecasting. The course is not taught by a Dalhousie instructor but by someone from Environment Canada.
