No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1979–80 to 1979–80 (before that, 1966–67 to 1971–72 used the number for Turbulent Diffusion in the Natural Environment and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics 2); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Basic acoustics. Legal aspects. Physiology of the ear. Signal analysis. Instruments and techniques. Noise reduction techniques, absorption, damping and barrier. Wave transmission and impedance. Handling industrial plant noise problems. Designing for minimum noise in engineering systems.
As printed in the 1979–80 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Another title: Geophysical Fluid Dynamics 2, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Steady horizontal motion in infinite fluids and in closed basins. Westward intensification, coastal jets in stratified fluids. Turbulent Ekman layers. Seiches in closed basins, internal waves in stratified fluids. Rossby waves. Motion under unstable stratification, the Rayleigh problem, Benard cells, turbulent thermals and plumes.

Another title: Turbulent Diffusion in the Natural Environment, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Statistical quantities of interest in turbulent diffusion: Eulerian and Lagrangian probability distributions, averages, correlations, spectra. Specific prediction models for atmospheric and oceanic mixing processes: diffusion in a homogeneous field and in a boundary layer. Effects of density stratification, buoyant movements.
