Notes:
382 – Seminar in
Aviation Meteorology
(1-0-1) (overload,
good for any major, including oceanography)
Weather is a crucial element in flight operations, affecting both aircraft performance and safety. This seminar will provide an overview of meteorological factors that impact flight operations, with particular emphasis on weather hazards and weather products that can assist the pilot with these hazards. Students who have selected Naval aviation for their warfare specialty will be given first preference for this course.
Prerequisites: None
SO 381 Seminar Tactical Oceanography (1-0-1) (overload, good for any major, including oceanography)
Oceanographic and bathymetric factors in the battle space play a significant role in mission planning and execution. The natural environment is an important consideration in the decision-making process regarding the timing of military operations and the employment of weapons, platforms, and tactics. This seminar provides an overview of oceanographic and bathymetric variability and the potential impact of surface and subsurface features on Naval operations.
Prerequisites: None
