About Msc Atmosphere, Ocean And Climate in University of Reading

This course will prepare you for a career in meteorology-related science and research, with a focus on:

• a quantitative description of the physical processes that produce weather
• the physical and dynamical building blocks of our climate
• the numerical and computational methods used to construct state-of-the-art models of the climate system.

Whether you want to mitigate the impact of hazardous weather events, understand how our changing climate may affect the jet stream, or even look further afield and forecast space weather – or focus your efforts elsewhere within meteorology and climate science – we will help you develop the scientific and analytical skills you need.
