Green Skills Training
Applied Meteorology and Air Quality
About This Course
Understanding atmospheric physics, weather system dynamics, climate variability, and air quality observations is essential for anyone working in fields related to the atmosphere, environment, or meteorology. Although many routinely work with atmospheric datasets—from surface networks, numerical models, satellite platforms, and airborne sensors—they often lack the foundational scientific framework needed for accurate interpretation and operational application. This training program addresses that need by providing applied, operationally relevant competency in atmospheric science, covering weather analysis, climate processes, and environmental monitoring.
Who Should Attend
The training program is intended for environmental and climate professionals, staff from public agencies and municipalities (including meteorology, environment, and fisheries services), risk and resilience planners, as well as students pursuing studies in meteorology, climate science, or related disciplines.
Learning Outcomes
Upon the completion of the program, participants will be able to:
- Define and identify how the atmosphere is composed, measured, and observed at the surface, and compare key meteorological variables that describe weather conditions.
- Interpret synoptic weather maps to identify fronts and mid-latitude cyclones and analyze the weather patterns they produce.
- Explain and analyze Earth’s energy balance and how radiative forcings drive long-term climate change and sea-level rise.
- Identify aerosols and gases and how they are measured using in-situ and remote sensing platforms to assess air quality.
