Lecture W101087 "Atmospheric Dynamics"

Lecturer: PD Dr. Klemens Hocke (email: klemens.hocke at iap.unibe.ch)

Date and time:

A97, ExWi, Tuesday 8 - 10, Begin on 18 September 2012

Content:

The mean state of the atmosphere cannot be understood without consideration of energy and momentum transport by atmospheric waves. The course integrates various research aspects: 1) Observation of atmospheric dynamics, 2) Theory, simulation, and data analysis of atmospheric dynamics 3) Generation, propagation, and dissipation of atmospheric waves, 4) Interaction of waves with the mean flow and atmospheric composition.

This specialist course is suitable for students in physics or climate science
