Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: ad a.: Students are able to describe the physical principles of radiation and its interaction with the atmosphere in detail. They are able to apply radiative transfer models to simulate and interpret atmospheric processes. They are also able to use various remote sensing methods and instruments to record atmospheric parameters and monitor climate change.
ad b.: Students can explain the physical, chemical and biological processes that determine the formation, transport and depletion of ozone, trace gases and aerosols in the atmosphere. They can explain and evaluate the interactions between stratospheric and tropospheric ozone chemistry and the influence of trace gases and aerosols on climate and air quality. They can apply theory and observation methods to describe and observe the physical and chemical state of the Earth's atmosphere.
ad c.: Students can critically read current research literature on ozone chemistry, trace gases and aerosols and interpret the results presented.

Prerequisites for registration: The prerequisites specified by the respective curricula are to be met.

Learning Outcome: Students are able to understand the theories, methods and perspectives of environmental meteorology and climate physics. They are able to identify challenges at the interfaces between the disciplines and formulate interdisciplinary questions against the background of their own discipline.
