I just had this course in winter 2011 with Dr. Bernier.
The course is very easy in a sense that everything is doable. You have ample resources to do well. he will tell u pretty much everything that will be tested on tests and exam. labs are very very easy.
this course is often described as a bird course. however, the material taught in this class can get VERY DRY. i hated this class because i found it boring ( i slept in every class). if boring courses don't annoy u and u can do well in them, then take this course. if u cant stand boring courses and are going to skip classes etc.. then dont take it. i skipped this class MANY times, and i m the kind of person who SIMPLY CANT cram every thing in my mind on the last day. if u simply review the notes he gives u weekly (everything is tested from those notes - no unpleasant surprises in this class), u will easily get a 90+ on tests and exam.
there is no need to buy the textbook. it didnt help me and u can borrow a good weather book form the lib and it will tell u ALL U NEED TO KNOW. and u can always google too.
