DESCRIPTIONThis course introduces the fundamental principles that govern the physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, including the thermodynamics of dry and moist air, radiative transfer, important trace gases and aerosols, and essential aspects of atmospheric circulation, etc. These fundamental principles form the basis of understanding the role of atmosphere in the global energy, water and carbon cycles, and the interaction between the atmosphere and other components of the Earth system. This course also provides a synthesis of these topics in the context of critical issues that are affecting human society such as extreme weather events, air pollution, and climate change.

DESCRIPTIONMathematical modeling of atmospheric composition and processes presents a formidable scientific and computational challenge. This course offers a comprehensive overview of the modeling methods utilized in atmospheric chemistry, covering the fundamental principles behind the models and their applications in interpreting observations. Special emphasis will be placed on recent advancements in the study of chemical reactions of trace gases, heterogeneous reactions of organic vapors, emission and deposition processes, meteorological coupling, model evaluation against observations, and adjoint models for integrated assessment and cost-benefit analysis. The course aims to: a) provide an overview of the most significant processes controlling the fate of atmospheric constituents, b) introduce the numerical methods used to describe them mathematically, and c) illustrate the simplified representation of atmospheric chemistry in models and its implications for model predictions.
