Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Acquirement of basic knowledge to understand atmospheric processes. Learning material for the basic chapters like atmospheric radiation, chemical and physical structure of the atmosphere, thermodynamics and dynamics of the atmosphere and the atmospheric water cycle will be provided

Assessment and permitted materials

written exam with mixed multiple choice and free text questions at the end of the semester

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

NPI and PI: The students know the basic structure and constituents of the
atmosphere. Apart from the general laws of gases they understand the basic physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere and how they influence the local, regional and global climate. Students can describe the anthropogenic impacts on fundamental atmospheric processes on a quantitative basis. They can explain transport and dispersion processes of substances in the atmosphere and exchange mechanisms between the atmosphere and the other parts of the geo-biosphere. In addition they understand the radiation and energy budgets driving the atmosphere and how they can be modified by anthropogenic activities. They can draw the fundamental theories of climate change and its natural and man-made forcings.
