 From global warming to severe weather forecasting and atmospheric chemistry, the Atmospheric Science Department at the University of Alabama in Huntsville offers opportunities for you to become involved in important research while working towards your B.S., M.S or Ph.D. degree. We invite you to explore this site and learn about our department, faculty, students and research.
The Atmospheric Science Department is a nationally recognized academic organization working with a unique combination of partners. The faculty and students of the Department are co-located with and closely tied to UAHuntsville's Earth System Science Center. The National Weather Service, NASA and other partners are collocated with the Atmospheric Science department at the National Space Science and Technology Center.

New class will teach applications of weather and climate modeling
A class offered for the first time this spring will offer answers to a math-related question that many students start asking about the time they hit algebra: How will I ever use this?
In this case, the new class in the Atmospheric Science Department at The University of Alabama in Huntsville will answer that question as it relates to the complex and mathematically intensive world of atmospheric modeling — the mathematical tools that scientists use to understand and predict the weather, and to study climate change.
"These models are also tools with a variety of practical applications," said Udaysankar Nair, the assistant professor who will teach the class. "This class will have a real world orientation, focusing on how we use research and modeling tools to help people make more informed decisions.
