大气科学理学学士

对恶劣天气，气候变化，预报，广播气象，大气化学，遥感和许多其他领域感兴趣的学生可能会在大气科学中找到家。该领域的研究旨在了解地球大气的行为和可预测性。大气科学家需要在数学，物理学，化学和计算机科学方面有良好的基础，并且犹他大学的计划在这些领域以及其他领域提供培训，例如气象学和气候学。作为大学地理环境的自然延伸，大气科学学位独特地强调了山区的天气和气候。最终，该计划提供了解决21世纪恶劣天气和气候变化带来的挑战所需的知识和工具。
Students with interest in severe weather, climate change, forecasting, broadcast meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, remote sensing, and many other areas may find a home in the Atmospheric Sciences. Study in this field seeks to understand the behavior and predictability of the earth's atmosphere. Atmospheric scientists need a good foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science, and the University of Utah's program offers training in these areas and others, such as meteorology and climate. As a natural extension of the geographic setting of the university, the atmospheric sciences degree uniquely emphasizes mountain weather and climate. Ultimately, this program provides the knowledge and tools needed to address the challenges posed by hazardous weather and climate change in the 21st century. The mission of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences is to discover, advance, and disseminate knowledge about weather and climate for the benefit of the people of Utah and the wider international community. Students can fulfill these goals through a number of academic and extracurricular activities. Pursue your passion and complete your capstone experience through a research project or internship. Or, join the Ute Weather Team and help keep your classmates aware of the weather while also gaining valuable job skills. Students can also join the U's chapter of the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
