MSc in Atmospheric Science and Technology for Meteorology & Climate (LMAST4MC)

The Laurea Magistrale in Atmospheric Science and Technology for Meteorology & Climate (LMAST4MC) is a Master of Science (MSc) degree in the Physics class (LM-17), organized as an international inter-university program, jointly proposed by the Sapienza University of Rome and University of L’Aquila. The unique feature of LMAST4MC program is to educate master students with solid knowledge and specific skills in the domain of atmospheric science from a physics and an engineering perspective. LMAST4MC is a MSc born from the cooperation of 4 major university departments. LMAST4MC is managed: in L’Aquila by the Department of Physical and Chemical Sciences (DSFC), whereas in Rome it is coordinated by the Department of Information engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications (DIET) at Sapienza University of Rome together with the Department of Physics (DF) and Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering (DICEA). LMAST4MC includes fundamentals of fluid mechanics, meteorology, electromagnetics and statistical mechanics as well as satellite Earth observation, radar meteorology, atmospheric remote sensing, dynamical meteorology and climatic modelling, environmental meteorology and monitoring. The course can be completed by choosing among a wide choice of interdisciplinary subjects such as: i) urban climatology, satellite geodesy and geomatics, advanced fluid mechanics, hydroclimatology, hydrological modelling; ii) advanced electromagnetics and scattering, optoelectronic sensors, machine learning, radar image processing, engineering electromagnetics, robust statistical data analysis and modelling; ii) atmospheric sounding, lidar remote sensing, radiative transfer in atmosphere, physics of non-linear systems, space weather, hydromeoteorological physics, atmospheric chemistry.
