701-0412-00L | Climate Systems | 3 credits | 2G | S. I. Seneviratne, L. Gudmundsson | |
Abstract | This course introduces the most important physical components of the climate system and their interactions. The mechanisms of anthropogenic climate change are analysed against the background of climate history and variability. Those completing the course will be in a position to identify and explain simple problems in the area of climate systems. | ||||
Objective | Students are able - to describe the most important physical components of the global climate system and sketch their interactions - to explain the mechanisms of anthropogenic climate change - to identify and explain simple problems in the area of climate systems | ||||
Lecture notes | Copies of the slides are provided in electronic form. | ||||
Literature | A comprehensive list of references is provided in the class. Two books are particularly recommended: - Hartmann, D., 2016: Global Physical Climatology. Academic Press, London, 485 pp. - Peixoto, J.P. and A.H. Oort, 1992: Physics of Climate. American Institute of Physics, New York, 520 pp. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Teaching: Sonia I. Seneviratne & Lukas Gudmundsson, several keynotes to special topics by other professors Course taught in german/english, slides in english | ||||
701-1260-00L | Climatological and Hydrological Field Work Number of participants limited to 30. | 2.5 credits | 5P | D. Michel, L. Gudmundsson | |
Abstract | Practical work using selected measurement techniques in meteorology and hydrology. The course consists of field work with different measuring systems to determine turbulence, radiation, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, discharge and the atmospheric state as well as of data analysis. | ||||
Objective | Learning of elementary concepts and practical experience with meteorological and hydrological measuring systems as well as data analysis. | ||||
