These aerosoles affect visibility, precipitation processes, climate and our health. Hence, an understanding of the properties of aerosols is of great practical importance in many fields of atmospheric science. Central to this course is the goal to build a quantitative understanding of the aerosol life cycle. We will learn how aerosols interact with the environment and why they are notorius in introducing large uncertainties in climate predictions. We will take a stab ourselves at modeling the evolution of aerosol size distributions. We will also discuss a number of selected papers of the current literature in aerosol science. After taking this course you will have a working knowlege of the principles in aerosol dynamics and chemistry, as well as in-depth knowledge on selected topics of current interest in this interdisciplinary field.
