METG 520: Dynamic Meteorology

This class is pretty intimidating.  The instructor is giving us "new" ways to do some otherwise standard tasks in


Partial Derivative of Sausage with Time Equals Chicken Shit.  c. Oct 2000.

This is based on a Lt Col Walters comment about the general nature of derivatives. Here's Dave thinking about food again (I can't explain the chicken shit!)


Goin' Back to School.  c. Oct 2000.

Please don't regard Dave as suicidal...and don't go running to mental health after seeing this.  This was during a derivation of the thermodynamic energy equation...and even though most of us had seen A derivation before of this equation, it was NOTHING like what Lt Col Walters presented to us.


Dumb as a Stump.  c. Oct 2000.

Okay...how many of you have heard Dave say this?  If you were one of his classmates after the first set of exams, then the answer is certainly YES.  This was Dave's mantra for the first two months of his Master's degree coursework.  Also during the derivation of the thermodynamic energy equation.


Banging Head Against Wall.  c. Oct 2000

Dave was feeling a little stressed here.  This was drawn right after the previous sketch.


Killer Holton.  c. Oct 2000.

Among us weather weenies, "Holton" is like a dirty word.  You say it, and everyone cringes.  In this class, Holton's derivations were killing us.


Rho, Rho, Rho Your Boat, Gently Down the Montgomery Stream Function.  c. Oct 2000.

The unrecogonizable symbols in this sketch are three of the Greek letters "rho" and the Montgomery Stream Function, respectively.
