This graduate level course provides a physical understanding of atmospheric processes including
dynamical meteorology, air-surface interactions, radiation, clouds, gas chemistry, and aerosols, as
well as a description of numerical techniques and computational methods used to simulate these
processes. It also introduces the state-of-the-art in modeling of the atmosphere and air quality, and
applications of models to real world problems. The course is designed as an introductory course
for students interested in fundamentals of atmospheric and air quality modeling.
