Welcome to the home page for 12.307, offered in the spring of 2010.
12.307 is an undergraduate Institute Laboratory Course intended to
illustrate, by means of 'hands on' projects,
the basic dynamical and physical
principles that govern the general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean and
the day to day sequence of weather events.
Real
time meteorological observations are studied together with
laboratory fluid experiments.
We meet Tuesday and Thursday 2.30 pm - 4.30 pm, in
Room 54-1615 of the Green Building.
See here for the course content. The class
schedule is here.
