ESM 471 Atmospheric Physics
Cycles of trace gases in the Earth’s atmosphere and their role in the environment. Emission, dispersal, and removal of natural and man-made trace constituents in the atmosphere that determine the Earth’s climate and stratospheric ozone layer. Also offered for graduate-level credit as ESM 571; this course is the same as Ph 471/571 and may only be taken only once for credit.
