Meteorology - Pennsylvania State University - Penn State Main Campus

Meteorology from Pennsylvania State University - Penn State Main Campus is a Campus Master Meteorology degree that prepares you for a Science career. The graduate program embraces topics that span atmospheric processes from those of the planetary boundary layer to those of the upper atmosphere, that encompass phenomena with molecular to planetary dimensions, and that range from practical to theoretical significance. The program develops and integrates approaches based on observational, computational and analytical techniques. The major interests of the faculty and graduate students center on (1) analysis, modeling, and prediction of the evolution of synoptic-scale, or mesoscale weather systems, particularly those of significant impact on human activities; (2) observation and theoretical study of processes related to transmission of radiation through the atmosphere, including remote sensing through use of electromagnetic or acoustic systems; (3) laboratory, and theoretical study of trace gases, particulates, and clouds and their consequences for air quality and climate; and (4) observation and theoretical study of atmospheric physics on a variety of scales, including phenomena of weather and climate, boundary layer physics, turbulence, convective systems, and severe storms; (5) weather risk. The department encourages interdisciplinary studies and is expanding its programs in biometeorology, climate dynamics, atmospheric pollution prediction, atmospheric carbon cycling, forecast reliability and verification, mathematical study of fluid dynamical systems, and integrated atmosphere-ocean studies. The department is affiliated with the Earth and Environmental Sciences Institute, which conducts studies in Earth system science, including climate, large-scale dynamics, oceanography, and regional assessments.
