Abstract

Experiments covering atmospheric physics, meteorology, and aeerosol physics which will be performed in the lab and partly outdoors.

Objective

This course delivers inisghts into various aspects of atmospheric physics. These will be acquired within individual experiments which cover the following topics: Wind and movement of air parcels, evaporation and cooling depending on wind velocity (wind chill), the analysis of particulate matter (aerosol particles), and their influence on the solar radiation that reaches the earth.

Examination

Type
graded semester performance
Three out of four experiments are chosen. Each experiment requires a written laboratory report to be completed and handed in for grading. Each report will be graded and worth the equivalence of 2 points, making a total of 6 points for three reports. Reports are to be prepared in teams of usually 2-3 students.
