Study and research in the department include topics such as atmospheric boundary layer and turbulence, atmospheric chemistry and physics, atmospheric dynamics, radiative transfer, oceanography, clouds and cloud physics, mesoscale and
synoptic meteorology & more.
She teaches Dynamic Meteorology and Advanced
Synoptic Meteorology to senior meteorology majors who enter class with prerequisites of differential equations and physics.
Back in college, in
a synoptic meteorology lab class, we had to create a simple weather model.
Schultz, a professor of
synoptic meteorology, and co-author Dr Vladimir Janković, a science historian specialising in weather and climate, say the short - term, large variability from year to year in high - impact weather makes it difficult, if not impossible, to draw conclusions about the correlation to longer - term climate change.

There has been a recent emphasis in decadal - scale prediction, and also creating a marriage between climate and fields such as
synoptic - dynamic
meteorology... something relatively new (and a different sort of problem, than say, estimating the boundary condition change in a 2xCO2 world); as Susan Solomon mentioned in her writing, a lot of people have become much more focused on the nature of the «noise» inherent within the climate system, something which also relates to Kevin Trenberth's remarks about tracking Earth's energy budget carefully.
Length scales are typically hundreds of kilometres, corresponding to the spatial scale of weather systems, known as the
synoptic scale in
meteorology.
