Supporting slides and information for "Meteorology: An Introduction to the Wonders of the Weather" by Robert Fovell

I created the course entitled Meteorology: An Introduction to the Wonders of the Weather, which was published by The Great Courses (formerly "The Teaching Company") in February, 2010. This course provides a rigorous (although almost entirely non-mathematical) treatment of weather suitable for nonmajors. Although the course does not employ mathematics, it does rely on physics and physical intuition, and requires attention and dedication. This is a university-level course in meteorology, emphasizing concepts rather than facts. Making this course was one of the most interesting and beneficial challenges in my life.

Anticipating that some viewers might appreciate the opportunity to examine some of the many figures I show in the course more closely, I offer below files in PowerPoint (PPT) and PDF format keyed to the 24 lectures in the "Meteorology" course. Unless otherwise identified, these images were created by me, either as original artwork or using freely available online data and graphics sources. In some cases, the figures employed in the course video are different from what I present here, but these were the figures I provided at the time the course was taped. These figures are intended to supplement the videos, in order to facilitate understanding of the concepts discussed in the course. These slide shows cannot, and are not intended to, replace the course itself and are not expected to be understandable in isolation. Accordingly, these presentations do not represent a summary of each lecture, and neither do they contain each lecture's full content.
