Land surface - Atmosphere Interactions
Landoberflächen - Atmosphären Interaktion
6 LPWiSeEN
Inhalte
In the lecture professional aspects of land surface – atmosphere interactions are addressed, such as: · turbulence and the development of PBL structure · carbon cycle · water availability · water use efficiency · ecophysiology · measurement techniques, e.g. eddy-covariance · remote sensing · modeling approaches In the exercise the knowledge gained will be applied using the programming language Python to trainee statistical data analyses (e.g. spatial data mining, machine learning approaches, GLM) and visualization in the field of atmospheric / environmental sciences.
Lernziele
The module offers fundamental knowledge of physical processes and methodologies related to land surface – atmosphere interactions and its relevance in the context of climate change, e.g. carbon and water cycle, factors of changes in surface energy fluxes, soil-vegetation-atmosphere transport, ecophysiological interactions. Students get the competence to assess relevant aspects related to global change as well as to apply IT-based approaches.
