- Description/content
- The study of climate physics (meteorology and physical oceanography) will provide students with advanced knowledge on atmosphere, ocean and the climate system using the terms and laws of physics. Students will become familiar with experimental and theoretical methods and will be guided towards current research. The course will provide instruction on how to present physical context, how to critically access scientific problems, and how to apply modern methodology in experimental and theoretical climate physics. Mathematical methods are an indispensable tool for processing physical relations, and they are essential for the comprehension of physical context.
