Atmospheric Sciences, Oceanography and Climate Physics Stockholm University

Overview

A central theme is the large-scale wind and current patterns that redistribute heat globally. Another is the physical and chemical processes that regulate cloud formation and the Earth's radiative balance. 

The Atmospheric Sciences, Oceanography and Climate Physics programme from Stockholm University provides students with knowledge about how feedback and interactions between different sub-components determine the sensitivity and the response of the Earth's climate to changes in the boundary conditions.

Key Features 

• The design of the programme allows for a high degree of specialisation. We offer optional courses with a focus on dynamical meteorology and oceanography, where modelling is an important element. 

• Other elective courses deal with physical and chemical atmospheric processes, examined from both theoretical and experimental standpoints. An elective course in practical meteorology provides the basis for professional work within prognosis meteorology. The programme is finalized with an independent project.
