Experiments covering atmospheric physics, meteorology and atmospheric dynamics, aerosol properties, ice nucleation and trace gas physics will be performed in the laboratory and partly outdoors.

Clouds are a fascinating atmospheric phenomenon central to the hydrological cycle and the Earth's climate. Interactions between aerosol particles and water vapour result in clouds and interactions between cloud particles result in precipitation, glaciation or evaporation of the cloud depending on the microstructure and microphysical processes involved.

This course raises awareness of doctoral students to ethical issues that may arise during their doctorate. After an introduction to ethics and good scientific practice, students use resources that can assist them with ethical decision-making. Students are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge and train their newly acquired skills in an interactive, discipline specific context.
