ATMO 441b/541b: Dynamic Meteorology II

Project: Review Topics
Please choose a topic you would like to pursue - this is a literature review,
but you are welcome to try numerical experiments to support/reject the
information you find in the papers.
I expect you to read at least 3 (but don't go overboard!) papers on the topic.
They should represent a balanced viewpoint on the topic.
The deliverable is a 6-page single-spaced report (including abstract and bibliography,
but not including figures, which should be added at the end of the report in numerical
order of appearance in the report. The report is due to me in class on Friday April 26.
The results of any numerical experiment you might choose to do, should be added in
as an appendix that does not count toward the 6 pages.
