Course Purpose and Objectives |
This course provides the fundamentals of atmospheric aerosol science and technology. Starting with the basic concepts of aerosols and how to express their key properties the course will also introduce the students to sampling techniques for atmospheric aerosols through remote sensing and in-situ measurements. It will comprise lectures and hands- on training in the laboratory and on the field, using data and facilities from CAO and USRL. |

|
Learning Outcomes |
At the end of the course, the students will have a good understanding of the basic properties of atmospheric aerosols and they will be familiar with the necessary tools for conducting experiments and calculations for the relevant physical and chemical processes. They will also be competent in the fundamental measurement techniques used in atmospheric sciences, and how they are exploited at CYI. |
