"Contents:\nThis course provides basic understanding of the meteorological processes for students in soil science, hydrology, environmental sciences, earth system science and for students specializing in meteorology and air quality. It focuses on understanding and quantifying physical processes in the atmosphere that determine weather, climate and air quality and treats advanced theory of part of the material treated in the first-year course Introduction Atmosphere MAQ-10306. It serves as an introduction for advanced courses of Meteorology and Air Quality Chair Group.\nBy performing the exercises and practicals, students are able to become acquainted with the order of magnitude of the various meteorological quantities. The theory is still only given as a broad outline. Detailed theoretical knowledge and strict mathematical derivations are reserved for more advanced courses.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:\nexplain the basics of atmospheric radiation;\ncalculate, relate and evaluate various atmospheric humidity quantities;\napply stability analysis and other applications of thermodynamic diagrams;\ndescribe the dynamics of the atmosphere by using simple formulas (mostly descriptive);\ndiscuss atmospheric predictability and uncertainty;\nclarify the formation of clouds and precipitation: showers, thunderstorms and tornadoes;\nreview the meteorology of the atmospheric boundary layer (descriptive);\nexplain the basics of climate and climate change." . .

"The Environmental Sciences master's programme in Wageningen has its roots in the natural, technological and social sciences. Students will gain insight into the socio-economic causes and the characteristics of pollution and degradation of the natural environment, including the effects on human beings, the atmosphere, ecosystems and other organisms. This two-year programme is based on an interdisciplinary approach. Students learn to develop analytical tools and models, as well as technologies, socio-political arrangements and economic instruments to prevent and control the wicked environmental and sustainability issues like climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion."@en . .
