ATMO 580: Tropical Meteorology



Project Presentations


Note: Project reports consisting of 6 pages of written material plus references and figures not included in the 6-page limit, are due one week after your class presentation. The report should be in the format of an AMS journal article with a brief abstract, introduction, results/review, and your summary. Your review and summary should include your own critique of any of the papers and information you have researched. I would like you to end with your own summary of the subject you are reporting on.
