| 701-1232-00L | Radiation and Climate Change | 3 credits | 2G | M. Wild | |
| Abstract | This lecture focuses on the prominent role of radiation in the energy balance of the Earth and in the context of past and future climate change. | ||||
| Learning objective | The aim of this course is to develop a thorough understanding of the fundamental role of radiation in the context of Earth's energy balance and climate change. | ||||
| Content | The course will cover the following topics: Basic radiation laws; sun-earth relations; the sun as driver of climate change (faint sun paradox, Milankovic ice age theory, solar cycles); radiative forcings in the atmosphere: aerosol, water vapour, clouds; radiation balance of the Earth (satellite and surface observations, modeling approaches); anthropogenic perturbation of the Earth radiation balance: greenhouse gases and enhanced greenhouse effect, air pollution and global dimming; radiation-induced feedbacks in the climate system (water vapour feedback, snow albedo feedback); climate model scenarios under various radiative forcings. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Slides will be made available, lecture notes for part of the course | ||||
