Prerequisites: EESC W4008, APPH E4210, and advanced calculus, or the instructor's permission.
This course is a continuation of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (APPH E4210) which is a prerequisite for this course. Exploration of atmospheric circulation based upon oabservations and interpretive models. Topics include wave/mean-flow interaction (the equilibration of instabilities and the wave-driven contribution to meridional transport), zonally symmetric circulations (Hadley and Ferrel Cells), maintenance of the mid-latitude circulation through extratropical cyclones, the zonally asymmetric circulation (stationary waves and storm tracks), and the stratospheric circulation (the quasi-biennial oscillation and meridional transport).
This is a writing workshop aimed at professional or pre-professional writers and media workers with a deep interest in international affairs. A fluid knowledge of written English is important. If the student is not yet a facile writer in the English language, he or she might get more out of the course if they took it during their second year of SIPA studies. The course is designed to give students exercises and real-world experiences in writing feature articles on international affairs topics. The aim is for each participant in the workshop to produce at least one (hopefully) professional level magazine article by the end of the semester. The objective is to help people tell true stories from this globalized world we all live in.
Corequisites: ELEN E6761 or the instructor's permission.
Overview of mobile and wireless networking. Fundamental concepts in mobile wireless systems: propagation and fading, cellular systems, channel assignment, power control, handoff. Examples of second-generation circuits-switched systems and standards. Quantitative homework assignments may require use of a mathematical software package.
The overall goal of this course is to improve the writing skills of international students in the MIA and MPA degree programs. The course requirements will include weekly short exercises (definitions of key terms and abstract concepts, summaries of statistical data, summaries and critiques of seminal concepts and theories, and descriptions of processes and procedures) and longer assignments (an argumentative essay, case study and short research paper). Students will also learn to revise and edit their work as well as to integrate sophisticated rhetorical and syntactic structures. To improve the accuracy and clarity of their writing, the course will review the aspects of grammar that pose particular problems for international students.
