Course content
The discipline consists of two content modules. The first content module is devoted to study properties and characteristics of the Earth's atmosphere, meteorological methods measurements and observations; study of the chemical composition of the atmosphere, its vertical structure, properties of layers according to signs: stratification, intensity of physico-chemical processes, degree of ionization, character interactions with the underlying surface; study of radiation properties flows in the Sun-atmosphere-Earth surface system, regularities geographical distribution of the components of the radiation balance of the subsoil surface; mechanisms of heat exchange between the subsoil surface and the atmosphere, thermal regime of the earth's surface and air in the daily and annual course; study of conditions phase transformations of water in the atmosphere, the main characteristics of humidity air and its daily and interseasonal changes; processes of cloud formation, classification clouds; processes of precipitation, classification of atmospheric precipitation; conditions formation of fogs, hazes, terrestrial hydrometeors; study regularities of changes in atmospheric pressure vertically, baric structure field and properties of its components; wind and the forces that determine it; large-scale air currents in the general atmospheric circulation system; local winds; classifications and main characteristics of air masses and atmospheric fronts; characteristics of adverse meteorological conditions and phenomenon The second content module is devoted to the study of properties climate system of the Earth, features of climate-forming interactions factors, classification of Earth's climates, hypotheses explaining climate changes, the main features of the climate of past eras, modern trends of global and regional climate changes and their consequences.
