2000 USDThe program's curriculum is founded on the classical graduate curriculum for Meteorology but allows for flexibility in accommodating the gamut of topics and fields that are beyond the scope of classical Meteorology. Proceeding from the classical foundational Meteorological courses, students tackle current atmospheric research problems from the general vantage point of either measurements (instrumentation and monitoring) and/or modeling (computer analysis). In an era of climate change and the concomitant potential natural disasters that are being predicted, there is an urgent need for the Philippines to develop and maintain a strong capability to understand and predict long-term climatic conditions as well as adverse weather, including typhoons and drought. This program hopes to address these needs by producing graduates who will: ○ possess an in-depth and advanced knowledge of the Physics and Chemistry of the atmosphere and its interactions; ○ obtain technical skills in identifying, analyzing and developing innovative solutions to atmospheric and meteorological problems; and ○ further their understanding of their actual field of work, develop competence, advance their career; hopefully leading to capable and conscientious leadership in their workplaces.
