A one-week compact course in Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics (ACaD) will take place at the Institute of Energy and Climate Research at the Forschungszentrum Jülich from September 16th to September 20th, 2024. This collaborative course is jointly offered by the University of Cologne and the University of Wuppertal and is open only to full-time attendees (no online course will be offered this year).

The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the basics of atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. The course is designed to enable students to understand the chemical and dynamical processes that control the state of the atmosphere. The course covers a range of topics, from large-scale dynamics such as the Brewer-Dobson circulation to small-scale chemical processes as those resolved in the Jülich simulation chamber (SAPHIR). The course will be a combination of lecture-oriented activities, hands-on experiments, and tours through the laboratory facilities.
