Putting the applied in applied meteorology

As part of the Atmospheric Physics and Applied Meteorology course for Aviation studies at ZHAW, we carry out a vertical sounding of the atmosphere during lab hours. A radiosonde is attached to a weather balloon which then ascends through the atmosphere, measuring temperature, moisture, pressure, altitude, and its location along the way. As the balloon […]

Naturally, engineers try not to create new problems, yet it is important for them to be aware about all factors and influences and not just to focus on solving one issue.” – By D. Romang and C. Waltenspül. As part of their project in AV.PM4, […]

Visit of MeteoSwiss HQ with our students

Each year, I am teaching around 60-80 students some meteorological basics. The courses include a wrap-up of first year physics, and builds upon this knowledge to introduce some applied notions of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics (see course description here). The main aim of the course is to enable students to understand, categorize and maybe even […]
