List of Lectures
during the Young Scientists Summer School on
“Integrated Modelling of Meteorological and Chemical Transport Processes / Impact of Chemical Weather on Numerical Weather Prediction and Climate Modelling”

The idea with the lectures (each 45 minutes long) at the Young Scientists Summer School is that the students get an understanding of the basic components that are included in integrated meteorological-chemical-aerosol-cloud-transport models. These include both the physical/chemical components and how these components numerically can be realised and implemented into these models.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
ALL LECTURES ARE FREELY OPEN FOR PUBLIC,
EXCEPT WHOSE WHICH ARE SPECUALLY RESTRICTED ONLY TO THE SUMMER SCHOOL PARTICIPANTS
