Course Overview

This course is consist of three sections. First section provides basic information on meteorology such as temperature, humidity, radiations on earth surface. Second section shows theoretical background of water and CO2 exchange processes between atmosphere and forests. Third section shows field measurement techniques for the water and CO2 exchange processes. Finally, the impacts of the water and CO2 exchange processes on climate system and water resources are also examined.

Learning Achievement

This course aim to develop basic ability to conduct a research for forest meteorology, hydrology and ecology through the course, and also to motivate to understand environmental issues such as human induced land-use changes and climate change based on biophysical background.
