The field course offers the opportunity to carry out atmospheric physical and chemical experiments. Students can acquire knowledge in experimental, instrumental, numerical or theoretical aspects of atmospheric sciences.

The course provides an overview of tropospheric chemistry addressing issues from global to urban scale. It provides a basic understanding of processes and discusses recent laboratory studies, field and satellite measurements, and numerical modelling. The topics include photochemistry and aerosols, emissions and deposition, and fundamentals of the atmospheric nitrogen, sulfur and methane cycles.
