課程概述：
本課程主要的規劃設計對象是地理系所，IPCS學程以及地球科學、環境、生態相關系所的碩博士班研究生以及大學部三、四年級同學。
大氣系統與陸域生物圈會透過各種不同的形式與時空尺度進行交互作用。在當中最重要的議題之一，就是大氣與地表陸域生態系統之間有關能量(可感熱、潛熱)與質量(如：碳、水、或其他物質的循環)的交換。相關的議題目前已經是國際學術界瞭解全球或區域環境變遷重要的方法與工具之一。
在本課程當中，主要內容包括基礎學理介紹、數學工具使用、儀器操作與實習，資料後處理等。另外亦將針對最近幾年國際上重要的論文進行研讀與討論。
本課程將安排數次野外實查，至棲蘭山、以及溪頭通量觀測塔進行實查與資料收集處理實習。
課程內容：
1. 基礎原理：基礎微氣象學理論、環境流體力學、環境生態生理學。
2. 儀器操作與設定：包括資料處理器(datalogger)，氣象儀器（溫濕度、風速風向儀、淨輻射儀）、通量量測儀器（三維風速風向儀、氣體分析儀）
3. 資料處理：以數學、統計、基礎程式工具處理相關資料。
4. 野外實習：至相關通量觀測塔地點進行實查與實習。

Atmosphere-Biosphere Interaction is a branch of meteorology exploring the atmospheric phenomena and processes at the spatial scale close to the terrestrial ecosystem and land surface. In particular, it deals with the exchanges of mass, momentum, and energy occurring continuously between the atmosphere and the earth’s surface, including the subsurface medium. The purpose of this course is to offer an overall introduction and relevant topics to the students with the majors in geography, IPCS program, atmospheric sciences, forestry, and earth sciences. In this course, the fundamentals of energy/mass/momentum transfer, environmental fluid mechanics, ecosystem processes/response and near-surface turbulent flow will be introduced. The instrumentation and measurement technique, data processing and analysis will be illustrated in the course. In addition, the impact of environmental change on the biosphere-atmosphere interactions from regional to global scales will also be discussed in the course. The course contents include:
1. Fundamental theory: introduction to micrometeorology, environmental flux mechanics, environmental ecophysiology
2. Instrumentation and observation: operation of meteorological instruments, data loggers, eddy-covariance flux measurement
3. Data processing: measurement data processing, data analysis and calculation
4. Field trips: visit Chilan and Xitou flux measurement sites to learn the observation in the field.
