Key elements of this specialisation from are the physics of atmospheric systems and climate processes, as well as computer skills and advanced statistics. Other topics are physical-chemical processes, the composition of the atmosphere, and the exchange between the atmosphere and the Earth?s surface. You examine these processes at a local and global level, developing models based on your fieldwork.
You can contribute to the further understanding of atmospheric processes and their relevance for weather and climate and focus on the physics of atmospheric systems and climate processes, creating numerical models to fully describe the three-dimensional state of the atmosphere and its evolution in time. You learn to collect and process meteorological and climatological information efficiently with a view to the projection of future conditions of the atmosphere and the climate system.
Or you can specialise in the physical-chemical processes, the composition of the atmosphere and the exchange between atmosphere and the earth?s surface. You examine these processes at a local and global level, developing models based on your fieldwork. The models you create can be used for developing environmental policy, air quality inventory and scenario analysis. Computer skills and advanced statistics form key elements in this track.
