課程概述 |
• This year in the latter half of the semester we will specifically focus
on the impact of climate change on extreme events and the regional climate around Taiwan.
• This course provides a solid foundation in climate change science, including lectures on the physical basis of anthropogenic climate change, natural climate variations, and global climate models.
• The students need to work on projects to obtain a hands-on experience on building toy models and analyzing the observational data sets and global model outputs.
• The student will read and present selected sections of the 2013 IPCC 5th Assessment Report (AR5) of Working Group I Physical Basis, as well as the related literatures, to understand the current status of climate change research.
Prerequisite on student levels:
• 4th-year undergrad or above in Atmospheric Sciences major, or upon the approval of the instructor.
• The students need to have basic capabilities to analyze and/or visualize numerical data using scientific software/programming language, such as FORTRAN, GrADS, IDL, Matlab, or NCL.
• They also need to have basic understandings to the earth system sciences, atmospheric thermodynamics and radiation, statistics, and climatology.
|
|
課程目標 |
• To help the students understand the basic theory and recent advances in climate change research
• To familiarize the students with the tools and methodologies for analyzing historical observation and model simulation data sets. |
|
課程要求 |
• Four Projects and Term Papers (60%):
Each student will build simple numerical models and reproduce the selected figures/tables based on observations and GCM model outputs.
The term papers (5-pages) include the slides of the oral presentation, supplementary results and programming code.
• Five Oral Presentations (30%):
Each student will summarize the progress/results of the projects. 7 minutes each, including discussion.
• Class Participation (10%)
The grade will be based on the quality of the presentations, the level of understanding to the assigned reading, the degree of execution of coding/data analyses, and the involvement of class discussion. |
