Overview"Introduction to Weather & Climate Lab Manual is designed to be used in an introductory college-level course in weather and climate. Although technically a first edition, it consists entirely of lab exercises that have been used (and refined as necessary) for over 20 years in the Introduction to Weather and Climate course at Salisbury University. A particular strength of the manual is that it covers the key topics with more in-text explanation and instruction than is found in most other manuals. This limits the need for the instructor to use extensive in-lab instruction time. Another strength is that the manual is designed to limit the amount of ""busy work"" required of the students such as plotting data, filling in or coloring graphs, or having to perform an excessive number of repeated calculations. Most of the labs are designed to reinforce concepts already addressed in the lecture portion of the course and therefore work best if the basic concepts have already been covered in lecture. The order of labs corresponds to the order in which material is covered in the Salisbury University course but it can be changed by instructors who prefer a different order."
