Five-Minute Meteorology is a blog where I share short posts summarizing key concepts that I cover in my atmospheric science courses. I try to limit the posts to 3-6 paragraphs that can be read in about five minutes or less, and I try to keep the content engaging. This site is intended to be a resource for my students and for anyone who happens to find it.
