Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: The students know which processes on different spatial scales have a dominant influence on atmospheric currents. They understand the different modelling approaches for this and can explain the examples discussed. They are able to explain the predictability of the state of the atmosphere.
The students understand the processes that drive the exchange of energy, mass and momentum between the earth's surface and the atmosphere within the planetary boundary layer. They know the different states of the planetary boundary layer and the role that different surface types and flow conditions play in it. They have a basic understanding of theoretical approaches and parameterisations. They can interpret measurements of the boundary layer.
Students understand the processes that drive weather systems on the meso and convection scales. They can analyse current and past weather situations in these scales with the help of data from various measurement platforms and create forecasts.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: The students are familiar with the standards of good scientific practice, understand the structure and creation process of a scientific paper, know the principles of a good scientific writing style and can create and give scientific presentations.
The students identify and understand the connection between selected meteorological measurement methods and the underlying physical concepts. They can acquire further knowledge about observation and measurement methods in atmospheric sciences from specialist literature. They can calibrate sensors, program a measuring system and use it to carry out measurements, evaluate their quality and document and discuss the measuring experiment.
The students can analyse the development of the current weather situation and independently create forecasts for the weather for the next few days.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students are able to give weather forecasting on time scales from nowcasting to up to one year.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Students can independently select and apply the appropriate statistical methods or write computer programmes to solve problems in atmospheric sciences. They master techniques for analysing and discussing scientific literature as well as present scientific results in written and oral form.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Advanced skills in one or several areas of expertise in atmospheric sciences.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: The students work after thorough research of the relevant literature and in discussion with the
dissertation committee a written concept of the thesis; they present it before an audience and
successfully defend it in scientific discourse.

Prerequisites for registration: successful completion of compulsory module 1

Learning Outcome: Students develop their own research results, present an Auditorium and develop them further
in scientific discourse.
