AbstractBasic principles of the atmosphere, physical structure and chemical composition, trace gases, atmospheric cycles, circulation, stability, radiation, condensation, clouds, oxidation capacity and ozone layer.
Learning objectiveStudents are able
- to explain the physical structure and chemical composition of the atmosphere
- to quantitatively describe and understand the fundamental physical and chemical process in the atmosphere
- to explain the interactions and feedbacks between atmosphere - ocean - land surface, troposphere - stratosphere and weather - climate.

In the course "Atmosphere", the competencies of process understanding, system understanding and data analysis & interpretation are taught, applied and examined.
ContentBasic principles of the atmosphere, physical structure and chemical composition, trace gases, atmospheric cycles, circulation, stability, radiation, condensation, clouds.
