Meteorology 543 - Term Paper Instructions

Fall 2018


The term paper should show how atmospheric dynamics (circulation processes) are part of your thesis research. Ideally, it would draw upon some of the material learned in this course, but there are multiple aspects of atmospheric dynamics, of course, that are not covered by any one course.
  1. The paper itself should be 2-3 pages. That is, it should be a succinct presentation of how atmospheric dynamics help you understand your research topic and contribute to the goals of the research.
  2. The class presentation should be about 5 minutes. This would be about 3 slides or so. Be sure to explain
  3. You should strive to make sure all of us learn something from your presentation.
