During the Fall 2000 Semester the Synoptic
Climatology course at Lyndon State College was taught by Dr.
William A. Fingerhut. The purpose of this course was to examine
the climatology of synoptic-scale circulations. Each student
was required to do three projects, each with a different approach / emphasis.
The emphasis for Project 1 was to examine how one atmospheric variable
varies over the entire hemisphere. The second project examined
a specific region; specifically how the primary variables relate to
the climate of that region. The third project was to examine either
cycles or trends in a specific region. What you're looking
at is the fourth project, the bringing together and presentation of all
the research we have done throughout the semester (for your enjoyment).
