Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, students deepen their knowledge of aerosol and cloud particle measurements. The course covers a selection of airborne and ground-based in-situ measurement techniques and associated methods for data evaluation.

Measurement techniques:
- optical spectrometers and array probes deployed in airborne platforms
- ground-based, in situ fluorescence & holographic imaging techniques for aerosol characterization

With regard to the interpretation of measurements, scientific programming in Python will be introduced and applied. Relevant advanced programming techniques such as machine learning will also be introduced and used.

The course consists of lectures and associated exercises where the acquired knowledge will be applied.
In this course students learn to:
- Explain physical principles of modern aerosol measurement techniques
- Describe the application of the measurement techniques in the context of current research questions
- Apply sophisticated data analysis methods
- Search for relevant literature and deepen their knowledge independently

Note: Certain prior knowledge of aerosol physics, as taught e.g. in the module WPF 9 "Aerosol Physics" in the bachelor program in physics at the University of Vienna, is helpful for this course. This basic knowledge is also covered in the literature listed.

Assessment and permitted materials

Continuous assessment throughout the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- Attendance in course sessions
- Approximately 8 hours of review in Moodle - 15 minutes to answer questions (can be done from outside) - dates will be announced at kickoff.
- Participation in the application sessions, in which the learned content is applied to real measurement data
- Presentation and discussion of the results from the application units

Assessment benchmark:
- Lecture repetitions: 40% of the total points
- Application sessions (implementation, presentation and discussion): 60% of total points

Grading scale:
Very good: 100.00% - 87.00%
Good: 86.99% - 75.00%
Satisfactory: 74,99% - 63,00%
Sufficient: 62.99% - 50.00%
Insufficient: 49.99% - 0.00%
