Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Die Studierenden haben grundlegende Kenntnisse über die Komponenten des Klimasystems und deren Wechselwirkungen und Zeitskalen.

Die Inhalte umfassen unter anderem:

Komponenten des Erdsystems, deren Wechselwirkungen und Zeitskalen, globale Energiebilanz, Energietransporte, großskalige Zirkulation der Atmosphäre, Wasserkreislauf, Ozean und Ozeanzirkulation, interne Variabilität, anthropogener Klimawandel, vergangene Klimazustände, Klimamodellierung.

Assessment and permitted materials

Lectures: written examination.

The first half of the exercise is in the form of a "Kreuzerlübung", assignments are solved at home and presented in the exercise. The second half consists of project work in groups with a final presentation.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

60% Written examination for lecture part
20% Exercises (Kreuzerlübung) + blackboard presentation of solutions + presence
20% Project work with final presentation

All three parts need to be completed. The partial performances are each graded from 0-100%. A weighted average is used to calculate the percentage achieved, from which the overall grade is calculated.

Grading scheme:
Grade 5: < 50%
Grade 4: 50-65%
Grade 3: 65-77.5%
Grade 2: 77.5-90%
Grade 1: > 90%

Examination topics

Written examination: entire content of the lecture.

The exercise covers applied examples from the lecture and more advanced concepts. The project work focuses on the visualisation and analysis of climatological data.

Reading list
