Scripts and Lecture Figures

For the ERM course I am offering presently two different lecture cycles:

  • Chemistry, Atmosphere and Climate System (winter semester)
  • Air Pollution Control: intelligent and sustainable principles (as part of IARP - Air Protection) (summer semster)

In following you will find different script chapters for free downloading on a "modular basis" as well the lecture cycle "Air Pollution and Atmospheric Chemistry" (IARP). It would be necessary for an understanding of atmospheric processes, to combine chapters between different lectures (I will give recommendations in each lecture course). The pdf-files will be revised stepwise and additionally established; please visit this site from time to time.
