Meteorology (Oxford)
Description
Key Topics Covered:
- Structure of the Atmosphere and Pressure Systems
- Cloud Types, Fronts, and Precipitation
- Temperature, Wind, and Turbulence
- METAR, TAF, and SIGMET Interpretation
- Weather Hazards (CB, Wind Shear, Icing)
- Climatology and Local Weather Patterns
Overview:
Meteorology forms the foundation of every pilot’s decision-making. This subject focuses on understanding weather patterns, atmospheric dynamics, and meteorological interpretation for flight safety.
You’ll learn how to analyze METARs, TAFs, and synoptic charts to evaluate weather hazards like turbulence, icing, and thunderstorms.
A solid understanding of meteorology ensures confident go/no-go decisions and safe navigation under varying weather conditions.
