Ok so started uni this week and technically I'm doing Biochem, however we have to take an outside modual like a "minor" and I chose to do " Meteorology: Atmosphere and Environmen" which is described as; "An introduction to the physical processes occurring in the Earth's atmosphere. Interpretation of weather maps and satellite images, cloud types and formation, atmospheric structure, thermodynamic processes, rain formation, solar and terrestrial radiation, energy balance at the surface, cumulus and cumulonimbus convection, air pollution."

Anyone get any idea where I could start finding good webpages/resourses to start trying to get my head round this.

God knows why I picked it to be honest.

Wikipedia is always a good place to start, although i'm not sure it is 100% fool proof.

Actually, I would probably pop to the library and get some books out. A good place to start, and lots of help there :)

Wikipedia is pretty solid on science. Could also try the AMS online glossary (American Meteorological Society).

Personally I wouldn't bother trying to push it, wait and see how it turns out, just make sure you're sweet on your physics and you'll probably be fine.

    Dubai Floods: Another Warning Sign for Desert Regions?

    The flooding in the Middle East desert city of Dubai earlier in the week followed record-breaking rainfall. It doesn't rain very often here like other desert areas, but like the deadly floods in Libya last year showed, these rain events are likely becoming more extreme due to global warming.
