| Course Description |
| The course covers present day climate, as well as climate variations in the past and future. It focuses on the physical principles
governing the global energy budget, the role of the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, and interactions between the
different components of the climate system. The course investigates the physical mechanisms governing changes in climate related
to land surface properties, atmospheric composition, clouds and orbital parameters. In addition, the concepts of natural climate
variability and anthropogenic climate change are discussed. |
