CEE 5984 : (FALL 2018) ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
Course Description :

The composition of the atmospheric is dynamic and complex, spanning an exceedingly wide range of physicochemical properties. The tools developed to measure atmospheric constituents and answer the pressing scientific questions in the field of atmospheric science are consequently similarly diverse. Instrument development is therefore considered a cornerstone of atmospheric scientific research, with novel and custom instrumentation leading to many recent advances in the field. This course will provide studies with an overview of the range of tools and instruments used to understand the atmosphere, including their operating principles, their capabilities and limitations, their historical and current applications, and the scientific advances enabled by their development. Students will also consider aspects of the design and deployment of new instrument and gain some hands-on experience with existing instrumentation around campus.
