Motivation

Monitoring atmospheric composition has always been an important task within atmospheric sciences. This has become even more important in recent years due to observed changes in gas and aerosols concentrations. The rapid advances in technology and the increased scientific interest in measuring atmospheric composition have created the need to train scientists in measurement techniques. As discussed in the last meeting of the Americas Working Group of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project (IGAC-AWG for short) August 2014, measurement technique training is particularly important in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region It was decided at the IGAC-AWG meeting there was a need to promote specialized training in atmospheric measurements, especially focused on aerosols with an emphasis on black carbon.
Objective

The main goal of this course is to improve the knowledge and skills in issues related to atmospheric measurements focusing on aerosols and black carbon for LAC scientists and graduate students who are close to finishing their MS or PhDs.
