Overview
The emphasis of the research is on studies of processes and developing physical understanding of the atmosphere.
The research commonly involves field or laboratory measurement and observation; data analysis and interpretation; and numerical model construction, modification and validation.
Features
The Atmospheric Science Programme, jointly sponsored by the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences and the Department of Geography(link is external)at the University of British Columbia, conducts teaching and research in atmospheric science.
It is an interdisciplinary programme, with faculty members coming from not only these two departments, but also from Agricultural Sciences, Chemistry, and Applied Science.
