The emphasis in this unit is on practical aspects of atmospheric science. The unit begins by developing an understanding of interactions between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere, with emphasis on the planetary boundary layer. It deals with the collection of atmospheric data from a range of field instruments. The unit also deals with the analysis and interpretation of meteorological and climatological data in a variety of applied contexts. Applications include: air pollution meteorology; agriculture and forestry; engineering and architecture; urban climatology; and micrometeorology. -- Course Website
