Content

Observations are a key component in climate research. They are essential in process studies and the evaluation of numerical modelling.
In this course you will gain experience with in-situ measurements related to meteorological, atmospheric, cryospheric or oceanographic processes, and learn how they can help us to better understand the Earth system. You will apply statistical and machine learning techniques to interpret the data. You will be involved in setting up a meteorological measurement system on the Utrecht Science Park and analyze the data.
