Achieve state-of-the-art knowledge on Surface-Atmosphere Exchange over Mountainous Terrain with particular emphasis on Planetary Boundary Layer processes in complex terrain, Trace gas and aerosol exchange in mountainous region and Mass and energy fluxes over snow and ice surfaces
Surface-Atmosphere exchange processes play an essential role in a wide range of fields such as numerical weather prediction, climate modeling, glaciology, air pollution assessment and environmental modeling and hydrology. In complex mountainous terrain not only the models need to be adapted to slanting surfaces and inherently non-homogeneous conditions, also many observational techniques require special attention and process understanding must be revisited.
InnSAR will provide state-of-the-art knowledge on these topics through lectures, excursions and hands-on student projects focusing on:
- Planetary boundary layer processes in complex terrain
- Trace gas and aerosol exchange in mountainous region
- Mass and energy fluxes over snow and ice surfaces
Lectures, excursions and hands-on student projects
Presentation and discussion of results of devloped student projects
Course material will be provided during the course
