Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The boundary layer (BL) is the layer of the atmosphere nearest to the ground, and is about 1 km deep. The surface layer (SL) is the portion of the BL right above ground, and is less than 100 m deep. The course begins by describing qualitatively the surface energy balance and the dynamics of atmospheric turbulence, together with their impact on the observed features of the SL and BL. The central topic of the course is the quantitative description of the properties of the SL and BL with scaling laws obtained from dimensional analysis. Finally, the representation of the SL and BL in numerical weather prediction and climate models is discussed. Every few weeks, a hands-on exercise (Python) is proposed. Exercises deal with the analysis of actual measurements and simulation data, or with the implementation of simple theoretical models.
Assessment and permitted materials
VO part (60%): Oral exam, 3 questions, approximately 45 minutes.
UE part (40%): Python scripts and/or notebooks submitted at the end of sessions.
UE part (40%): Python scripts and/or notebooks submitted at the end of sessions.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Mininum requirement: Demonstrated understanding of processes in the atmospheric boundary layer and of micrometeorological phenomena.Oral exam: 3 questions, about 45 minutes. All topics explained during the course may be covered. You get a grade in
the range 0-60%.Exercises: There are 4 exercise sessions in the semester, code must be submitted at the end of each session. For each session
you get a grade in the range 0-10%. A list of tasks is given and the final grade is determined by the successfully
completed tasks.Final grade: The final percent grade (VO+UE) is converted as follows
* Range 91%-100%: 1
* Range 81%-90%: 2
* Range 71%-80%: 3
* Range 50%-70%: 4
