Preliminary remark
1. Instead of the listed electives it is allowed to attend the following electives of the MSc program ‘Physics of the Earth and Atmosphere’ at the University of Bonn:
| Focus | Module |
|---|---|
| Meteorology | Dynamics of the Atmosphere |
| Meteorology | Climate Dynamics and Statistics I |
| Meteorology | Cloud Physics |
| Meteorology | Remote Sensing and Mesoscale Meteorology I |
| Meteorology | General Hydrodynamics |
| Meteorology | Climate Dynamics and Statistics II |
| Meteorology | Special Topics in Theoretical Meteorology |
