Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Acquirement of basic knowledge to understand atmospheric processes. Focal points are atmospheric radiation, chemical composition and physical structure of the atmosphere, thermodynamics and dynamics of the atmosphere and the atmospheric water cycle. Topics relevant to our environment such as air pollution dispersion, greenhouse effect and stratospheric ozone destruction will also be discussed. The slides used for the course 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
The students understand the basic structure and chemical composition 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.
