About the course

A multi-wavelength photoacoustic spectrometer built by the Dept. of Atmospheric Science Engineering team and the Murphy research group.

　　Observations and observing systems are a primary focus of much of the research that is conducted in Atmospheric Science at UW. Developing new instruments and characterizing and understanding existing instruments is key to being able to use observations effectively in addressing relevant scientific questions. The department maintains laboratory facilities such as the Keck Aerosol Lab (Murphy) and the Cloud Physics Lab (French) that can be used to generate particles to challenge and calibrate aerosol and cloud probes that operate on mobile facilities or on the King Air Research Aircraft. Research also includes the development of new instruments for detailed in situ measurements of aerosol optical and chemical properties (Murphy) and cloud hydrometeor properties (French) and for broader scale remotely sensed characteristics of clouds and aerosol work within the King Air Research facility focuses on using lidars and radars.

How to apply

Entry requirements for University of Wyoming

1. Transcripts. Please submit undergraduate and graduate transcripts. Transcripts not in English must be translated by the issuing university or by a commercial translation service.

　　2. Grade-point average. Applicants with higher GPAs will have a competitive advantage. A GPA of less than 3.0 in undergraduate science and mathematics is generally indicative of lack of sufficient preparation for graduate studies in science.

　　3. GRE scores. To be competitive for admission, a M.S. applicant should have a minimum of 151 (Q) and 138 (V), Ph.D. applicants should have minimum of 155 (Q) and 140 (V). If you are chosen for admission, please have the Educational Testing Service (ETS) mail your scores to the University of Wyoming, Code 4855. GRE scores less than these values do not disqualify your application, but your application may not be competitive enough for admission. The GRE requirement may be waived if you have a master's degree from a U.S. institution. However, the selection committee may request recent GRE scores from any applicant.

　　4. English language profiency scores. Required for international applicants. English proficiency is given serious consideration. The minimum requirement is a composite score of 76 on the Internet-based exam (TOEFL iBT), or a 6.0 on the IELTS, or 760 on the TOEIC.

　　5. Three letters of recommendation.
