Courses and other educational activity

Educational Activity

Courses taught at University of Oxford (Resources at Weblearn or Canvas):

Oxford C5: MPhys major option in atmosperic science (including planetary and exoplanetary atmospheres)
NERC DTP climate physics lectures
Short option in Dynamical Systems

Help with computer issues:

Many of my educational activities, including courses and textbooks, make use of the Python programming language. A Python support page customized for students and faculty using the courseware can be found here. Also watch for my Python for Mathematics and Scientific Simulation textbook, coming soon.

Graduate and Undergraduate Courses taught at the University of Chicago

PS134 Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast
Geosci232: Climate Dynamics of the Earth and Other Planets
Geos348: Advanced radiative transfer
Geo342: Intro to GFD.
- PS1 solution
- PS2 solution
- PS3 (due Wed., Feb. 18) Solution
- PS4 (due Monday, March 2) Note: There was an error in the statement of Problem 4.3 (the stationary Rossby wave problem). To be consistent with the boundary condition I gave, the mountain should have been proportional to sin(l y), not cos(l y) as I stated. I posted a corrected version of the problem set, but it's probably too late to help most of you. Solution
- PS5 (due Wed., March 11) This is the last one! (Note sign error on PV,not yet corrected on the posted problem set.)
