What it is about

You will learn the fundamentals of atmospheric and ocean physics as well as methods for remote sensing of these system components from space. After completion you can understand atmospheric composition, dynamics and climate aspects as well as physical properties of the ocean and apply altimetric satellite observations to oceanographic questions.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand the basic principles of atmosphere, weather and climate
  • Apply methods for determining atmospheric composition and dynamics from space
  • Apply the basic principles of physical oceanography
  • Recognize satellite altimetry as an operational remote sensing method
  • Understand the concept and measurement principle of satellite altimetry missions
  • Apply measurement corrections and validation techniques of altimetry
  • Know the availability of data and products as well as data access
  • Apply important analysis methods of satellite altimetry
  • Understand geophysical applications of satellite altimetry
  • Develop cross-cutting concepts for monitoring multiple components of the Earth system

What the module consists of

  • Lecturetwo lectures cover complementary atmospheric physics & remote sensing as well as oceanography & satellite altimetry

Teaching method

  • Interactive Lecturefor continuous assessment of learning progress through questions
  • Chalkboard/Blackboardfor mathematical derivations and calculations
  • Electronic presentations and Jupyter notebooksfor visualization and practical execution of analyses
  • Online Ocean Data Visualization Toolsfor hands-on examples of oceanographic analysis
