Research Topics: Atmospheric Chemistry, Aerosols & CloudsEAS4803 - Atmospheric Dynamics II
This course will introduce to students basic physical concepts and analytic techniques that are essential for understanding atmospheric motions at various temporal and spatial scales. The special emphasis will be on various types of atmospheric instabilities and their role in driving the extratropical general circulation.
Research Topics: Atmospheric Chemistry, Aerosols & Clouds Dynamics of Weather & ClimateEAS6122 - Biogeochemical Cycles
A multi-disciplinary exploration of the chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes that cycle the nutrient elements through the Earth system and thereby maintain a habitable planet.
Research Topics: Atmospheric Chemistry, Aerosols & Clouds GeochemistryEAS6140 - Thermodynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans
Description pending.
Research Topics: Atmospheric Chemistry, Aerosols & CloudsEAS6145 - Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere and Oceans
This course provides a foundation for understanding the physical principles of remote sensing of the atmosphere and oceans. The course is designed as a collection of lectures and computer modeling laboratories. The lectures focus on the fundamentals of the interactions between electromagnetic radiation and atmospheric gases, aerosols and clouds, and ocean surfaces, covering the spectrum from the ultraviolet through the microwave. The labs provide hands-on experience in using remote sensing data for various applications in atmospheric and oceanic sciences. Topics to be covered include aerosol and cloud property retrievals, ozone and air pollution characterization, vertical temperature and humidity profile retrievals, sea ice characterization, and retrievals of ocean color and sea surface temperature. The main goal of the course is to provide a broad conceptual framework for physical understanding the methodology and applications of remote sensing.
