Homework Help

Emphasis on "help"! Post your questions here about homework assignments or specific topics to get more feedback beyond your T.A. and professor. Sometimes it may help to hear from a different source outside of our department about a synopsis on quasi-geostrophic theory or why PV is so important or why supercells split. Please do not post a question expecting to be walked through it to the answer; we wouldn't want to take a learning opportunity away from you! But we are certainly here to help.
