NOTE: On Thursday, Oct. 9 we will complete the discussion on ocean currents
and then cover moisture and precipitation to provide some additional background.
Assignment 4 will be pushed back to Tuesday, Oct. 14. Assignment 5 will then be
deferred until the following week.

It appears to me that some students may be having difficulty because the topics in the
assignments are beginning to run ahead of the coverage of material in the syllabus. This
will give us a chance to catch up. Also I believe there is some misunderstanding about
expectations for these assignments. Some additional comments about this are included in
the revised online text of the assignment.

Please note that, while I am pushing back the due date, I will expect the assignments
to be completed and submitted on the new due date.
