The emphasis in this unit is on practical atmospheric science. The unit begins by developing an understanding of interactions between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. It deals with the collection of atmospheric data from a range of field instruments as well as published and internet resources. The unit also deals with the analysis and interpretation of meteorological and climatological data in a variety of applied contexts. Applications include air pollution meteorology, agriculture and forestry, engineering and architecture, environmental and urban planning, solar and wind power and climate and human health.
