It surveys the characteristics of the global climate system, but pays particular attention to the Northern Hemisphere RAPHY and North America. Laboratory exercises involve the analysis and presentation of climatological data. Requisite Courses: GEOG 1205(3) or the former GEOG-1201(3) [prerequisite(s)]; GEOG-2207L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).
