It would also serve to increase the visibility of ATOC in the university at large, which resonates with McGill s new emphasis on sustainability and could very well be an optional course for students in the Earth System Science program. At the recent Mcgill Space Institute board meeting, Dean Lennox stated that the Faculty wants to see more interdisciplinary courses, including courses co-listed in two departments.

Administering Faculty/Unit Prerequisites those interested in pursuing planetary science or exoplanet graduate degrees after completing their undergraduate Physics degree. Alternatively, some may decide to pursue graduate education in atmospheric and climate science. For example, two thirds of ATOC grad students have bachelors in physics, math, or engineering. We expect enrollment of 20-30. Mean enrollment in ATOC 300-level courses is 12 (they currently do not have any 400 level courses). We expect a dozen physics students because climate change and planetary habitability are hot topics. We also expect interest from EPS and Earth System Science majors. The course will be required for the ATOC Climate Science stream of the undergraduate Major and Honours programs. The are three profs well-positioned to teach this course: Yi Huang and Tim Merlis in ATOC, and Nick Cowan in PHYS. The plan would be to alternate teaching between the two departments: for example Cowan (2017), Huang (2018), Cowan (2019), Merlis (2020). This fits with Cowan s teaching schedule since he is currently teaching PHYS- 641 Observational Astrophysics, which is only taught every two years. This course was approved in departmental votes in ATOC and PHYS in Nov 2016. Timothy Merlis This course covers the essentials of climate physics through the lens of one-dimensional, vertical atmospheric models. This includes shortwave and longwave radiative transfer, convection, phase changes, clouds, greenhouse gases, and atmospheric escape. This is an adequate level of detail for understanding Earth s climate, paleoclimate, anthropogenic climate change, or pursuing studies of Solar System planets and extrasolar planets. 0291 : Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences SC : Faculty of Science PHYS 230 or PHYS 251, PHYS 232 or PHYS 253, MATH 222, MATH 315 or MATH 325 Web Registration Blocked? : Y Minimum Grade or Test Scores : C Prereq course or test taken at the same time? : Y Corequisites Restrictions Not open to students who have taken PHYS 404.

ATOC/PHYS 404 Climate Physics Context ATOC has long been considering a course on 1D climate to fill a gap between their 200 level sequence and the more math/physics intensive 500 level courses that primarily serve M.Sc. students. It would also serve to increase the visibility of ATOC in the university at large, which resonates with McGill s new emphasis on sustainability and could very well be an optional course for students in the Earth System Science program. At the recent Mcgill Space Institute board meeting, Dean Lennox stated that the Faculty wants to see more interdisciplinary courses, including courses co listed in two departments. In the context of MSI, the course would consummate the relationship between ATOC and PHYS via planetary climate, much like EPSC/PHYS 186 Astrobiology does for those departments. As the Halley Professor of Physics at Oxford, Fred Taylor, has written, Understanding the Earth s climate and predicting its future behavior is, first and foremost, a problem of Physics.

Course Description This course covers the essentials of climate physics through the lens of one dimensional, vertical atmospheric models. This includes shortwave and longwave radiative transfer,

convection, phase changes, clouds, greenhouse gases, and atmospheric escape. This is an adequate level of detail for understanding Earth s climate, paleoclimate, anthropogenic climate change, or pursuing studies of Solar System planets and extrasolar planets. We will follow the textbook Elementary Climate Physics, by F.W. Taylor, at a pace of one chapter per week. At a slim 212 pages, this gives a good survey of climate physics, but leaves enough time for deeper looks at a few select topics, depending on the instructor. Additional material can be taken from Taylor s follow up book, Planetary Atmospheres (applying the physical concepts of the first book to other Solar System worlds), Andy Ingersoll s Planetary Climate (similar scope in a more condensed form), Geoff Vallis Climate and the Oceans (covers the basic fluid dynamics of atmospheres and oceans), or Ray Pierrehumbert s Principles of Planetary Climate (a graduate level treatment of 1D climate). Pierrehumbert maintains a website with Python code for reproducing every plot in his book, including radiative convective models. Some of these would make great coding projects and would allow students to use real cutting edge models. Pre requisites PHYS 230 or PHYS 251, PHYS 232 or PHYS 253, MATH 222, MATH 315 or MATH 325 Course Content 1. The climate system 2. Solar radiation and the energy budget of the earth 3. Atmosphere and climate 4. Clouds and aerosols 5. Ocean and climate 6. Radiative transfer 7. Earth s energy budget: the Greenhouse effect 8. The ozone layer or atmospheric escape 9. Climate observations by remote sensing 10. Climate sensitivity and change 11. Climate models and predictions 12. Climate on other planets: exoplanet climates Class Structure There will be two lectures per week and regular quantitative homeworks from the textbook. Two exams and one written research project. Students will provide peer review on an early version of their term project. The final version will be graded by the faculty member who is the course instructor. Homeworks will be graded by the TA.

The Faculty Program (FP) Honours (HON) proposed revision is intended to increase the flexibility Major Joint Honours of the Minor, so that students have a broader range of Joint Major Component (HC) options that reflects the full range of course offerings by Major Concentration (CON) Internship/Co-op the Atmospheric & Oceanic Science department. This revision will bring the course requirements of the Minor X Minor Thesis (T) in line with the course requirements of the Major Minor Concentration (CON) Non-Thesis (N) program, which were revised in September 2014. The Other current Minor has certain required courses that are now Complementary for the Major; this has been amended Please specify in the proposed Minor. 1.5 Complete Program Title B.Sc.; Minor Atmospheric Science 6.0 Revised Program Description (Maximum 150 words) (None) P2-1
