Modelling”UniversityofHelsinki,DivisionofAtmosphericSciencesincooperationwithLund University, Aarhus University and University of Oslo are pleased toannounce the intensive course "First steps in Biosphere-AtmosphereModelling"tobeheldatAarhusUniversity,June5-16,2017.
Time5th(noon)to16
th(noon)ofJune2017
LocationAarhusUniversity,Aarhus,Denmark
ProgrammeOn the course, everyonewill program an atmospheric boundary layermodelwith
chemistry and aerosol dynamics, including: equations of flow for the atmospheric
boundarylayerwiththefirstorderturbulenceclosure,1-dimensionalcolumnmodel
+numericalsolution,emissionsofbiogenicvolatileorganiccompounds(BVOC)from
vegetation, modelling of chemical kinetics by systems of differential equations,
deposition of aerosols and numerical solutions for aerosol formation and growth.
ThemodelwillbecodedinFortran95.
RequirementsAbasicknowledgeofprogramming in somecomputer language (e.g. Fortran,C++,
Python,Matlab) is required. In thecourse,wewillonlyprovidea smallamountof
Fortran-lecturestoteachthebasicsofFortranandprogramming.Youwillalsoneed
tobringyourownlaptop.
Pre-courseactivitiesTherewill be a Fortran online-teachingmaterial available and pre-exercises to be
solved before the course. The lectures and tasks will be sent per email to the
participants after the selection in the beginning of April. If adequate Fortran
software is not available we will advise and help the selected participants in the
installationbeforethecoursestarts.Oneselectedexercisehastobesentbacktothe
lecturer before the start of the summer school as a requirement to ensure that a
basic Fortran knowledge is assured and that the compiler and the used plotting
programsaresufficient.
