Teaching: Cloud (and Aerosol) Physics

Cloud (and Aerosol) Physics (winter semester 2010/2011)
Tuesdays 12:00-14:00 (lectures); Thursday 08:00-10:00 (exercises) 
Geomatikum H5 (lectures); H3 (exercises)

Overview
To develop an appreciation of the microphysical processes impacting the microphysical structure of clouds and precipitation.  The course consists of 12-14 lectures which emphasize the basic physical principles governing cloud (and aerosol) microphysical processes.

Grading 

The course is part of the thermodynamics/cloud physics sequence of the undergraduate (Bachelors) meteorology major at the University of Hamburg.  Grades are based on an oral exam at the end of the semester.  The exam is developed around the exercises discussed during the course.
