To understand physical processes of solar (short-wave)- and terretrial (long-wave) radiation in the atmosphere and earth's surface layers (vegetation, soil, water, snow and ice), that can be integrated in models after simplification.

Definitions of basic concepts in radiation and radiation laws; the sun and its variability;earth's orbital effect on solar radiation; scattering processes in the atmosphere; absorption of solar radiation in the atmosphere and earth's surface layers; albedo; emission and absorption of terrestrial radiation; clouds and radiation; methods for irradiance computation for solar and terrestrial radiation (line-by line and continuum), narrow absorption band models, broad band models, empirical methods); radiometrical methods; radiation in the climate system; radiation as a cause for climate changes.
