The Department of Atmospheric Sciences seeks to advance knowledge and understanding of the physical, chemical and dynamic processes that determine our weather, climate and their interactions with the oceans and continents. We prepare undergraduates for careers in the private sector, broadcasting, public service and for further graduate study.

We train graduate students and young scientists to become leaders in atmospheric sciences and related fields. With our distinctive strengths in climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, and cloud and aerosol processes, we strive to achieve excellence in research and education that will better inform the public and policy makers on how to prepare for hazards and changes in the weather and climate system.
