Course content
The discipline is devoted to the study of the impact of major meteorological and climatic factors on living organisms - plants, microorganisms, animals and humans. In the process of studying the discipline, meteorological factors of human heat exchange are considered; the main approaches to the typification of bioclimatic indices; cold stress indices and features of their application; effective temperature indices; bioclimatic indices based on the equation of heat balance of the human body; the concept of average radiation temperature of the environment and its role in the calculation of modern bioclimatic indices; climate as a recreational resource; climatotherapy, medical and climatic procedures. Structurally, the course consists of four content modules.
