  These notes contain everything necessary to run a flipped course on "The
Atmosphere" at an introductory undergraduate level. There are notes for the
students to read before each course meeting and problems for them to work on in
small groups during course meetings. Topics include (1) atmospheric
composition, structure, and thermodynamics; (2) solar and terrestrial radiation
in the atmospheric energy balance; (3) atmospheric dynamics and circulation. I
include 10 problem sets, six practice midterms, and three practice finals.
Problems are drawn from the atmospheres of modern and past Earth, solar system
planets, and extrasolar planets. I can provide solutions to the in-class
problems and problem sets to teachers upon request. You are free to use these
notes in your classes, and to expand them as you please. If you catch any typos
or errors, please send them to me. Enjoy!
