Doctoral Course

Active Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere

EDCECourse details

Teachers: Alexis Berne and Valentin Simeonov

This course provides the basics to understand and analyze remotely sensed measurements from active systems like lidar (in particular temperature, humidity, aerosols) and radar (weather and cloud radar, wind profiler).

Courses during the year

  • Atmospheric processes: from cloud to global scales

    The main objective is to present important atmospheric processes from the local to global scales. The course will start with cloud processes, continue to synoptic phenomena like extratropical cyclones and fronts, to finally cover numerical modeling at the regional and global scales.
