Mikroklimate
Titel auf Englisch: Microclimates
Lernergebnisse
The module offers in-depth insight into spatio-temporal atmospheric phenomena with special reference to urban areas and their periphery. Students acquire a basic knowledge of cross-scale processes and mechanisms related to local (topo-) climates, get the competence to carry out climatological analysis in space and time applying IT-based methodologies such as statistical analyses and machine learning approaches.
