Unfortunately, I will be out of town on January 17, the first day of class. Hence there will be no class on Jan 17; the first class period will be Friday, January 19.
In lieu of class on the 17th, I would like you to peruse some of the items on the course web page (http://paos.colorado.edu/5235):
Note that the homework assignment due Jan 26 uses the satellite missions web links.
For those of you who didn't take the course prerequisite ASEN/ATOC 5225: Thermodynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans, please read the abridged version of chapter 1 from the text Thermodynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans, by Curry and Webster. I will have xerox copies of this chapter outside my office door for you to pick up if needed.
Those of you who intend to take more than one remote sensing course may want to investigate obtaining the Graduate Certificate in Remote Sensing at http://paos.colorado.edu/program/rscertif.html.
Welcome to all of you, and I look forward to meeting with you on Friday.
