Ph 577 Air Pollution

Air pollution meteorology needed to understand air pollution, atmospheric dispersion models, K-theory, box models and receptor models. Use of simple computer models. This course is a foundation for the quantitative understanding of air pollution: At any point in the environment (receptor), how much pollution is caused by a known source? If there are many sources, how much pollution does each source contribute at a receptor? Also offered for undergraduate-level credit as Ph 477 and may be taken only once for credit. Recommended prerequisites: Ph 213 or Ph 223, one year of calculus, introductory course in differential equations.
