A quantitative introduction to topics in atmospheric physics valuable for advanced undergraduates, and beginner-level graduate students in atmospheric, planetary and oceanic sciences. The topics include the basics of interactions of radiation (solar and infrared) with the atmosphere, and radiative transfer in cloudy and hazy atmospheres, advanced topics in atmospheric thermodynamics, such as molecular spectroscopy, and planetary atmospheres.

Currently, there is a pre-requisite of EAPS 532, which can be waived if the student has the quantitative skills generally required for a 500-level STEM course.
