Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of the course in physics, mathematics, general meteorology,
thermodynamics of the atmosphere.
2. knowledge of theoretical foundations of meteorology, laws of physics, in particular physics
of the atmosphere, the ability to establish cause-and-effect relationships between phenomena and

Course content
The discipline is devoted to the study of
structure and structure of the atmosphere; the main physical processes occurring in the
the Earth's atmosphere; considers dynamic processes at different levels in the atmosphere. The course
consists of two content modules.
The first module - "Atmospheric composition. Atmospheric statics" considers
the structure of the atmosphere and the main meteorological processes occurring in dry and
and humid atmosphere.
The second module - "Atmospheric dynamics. Thermal state of turbulent
atmosphere" considers elements and models of the moving atmosphere; turbulent
heat exchange.
