For example, studying intermediate studies may require some completed basic studies. These are described on the Information about studies tab of the study unit under prior requirements.</p><p>When you have been admitted to the studies, you must enrol separately via the Sisu information system for the implementation of the unit of study and, for example if set, for a practise group of your choice. You will receive instructions on how to do this by e-mail after you have confirmed your acceptance of the study place by paying the required fee.</p>

The student are familiar with impactor-type and filter instruments.</li><li>Particle charging and electrical mobility: The student knows different methods of particle and cluster charging, and is able to calculate the charging state of the aerosol. The student understands electrical mobility and is able to compute the number size distribution from mobility data</li><li>Measurement of distribution moments: mass, surface, number: The student understands the distribution moments and the methods to measure them. The student is able to perform conversion calculations and apply moments in instrument inversion. </li><li>Aerosol spectrometry:The student understands the main components and physical principles in aerosol spectrometry</li><li>Aerosol measurement systems:The student understands the basic principles governing the measurement of aerosols, such as flow conditions, pressure difference driving flow, particle losses, etc. The student knows how to measure the essential parameters of the system.</li></ul><h5>Complementary knowledge</h5><ul><li>The student can perform statistical analysis of a particle counting instrument¿s signal</li><li>The student is able to design the flow system aprropriately for a electrical mobility measurement.</li><li>The student is able to quantify the influence of aerosol dynamics during on the observations.</li></ul>

After taking the course, the student is able to identify, operate and perform measurements with standard aerosol measurement technologies. The student understands the underlying physical and chemical principles principles of the instruments and the limitations they cause for their operation. The student understand the diversity and challenges of measuring aerosols and is able to make informed selections on the methodology of aerosol measurement. The student is able to critically assess measurement reports and data. The student can search for information in scientific literature and is able present a critical review of the information. The student is able to perform measurements in a group setting, has the capability to analyse the data, evaluate uncertainties, and present the findings both orally and in a written report.

<h2>Prerequisites</h2>The course can be completed without first attending the Aerosol Physics course, but many topics will be easier to follow with the theoretical knowledge of Aerosol Physics. <br><h5>Prerequisite</h5><ul><li>Code: FYS-3106</li><li>Name: Aerosol Physics</li><li>ECTS credits: 5</li><li>Mandatory: Advisable</li></ul><h2>Recommended Prerequisites</h2><ul><li>Aerosol Physics, FYS.400, 5 cr</li></ul>
