Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of compulsory basic disciplines studied at the department
of meteorology and climatology - Mathematics, physics, information technology, physics
of the atmosphere.
2. Knowledge of theoretical foundations of physics, mathematics, methods of analysis of meteorological
processes and fields, ability to establish causal relationships between phenomena and
processes occurring in the atmosphere, information about which comes from different sources.
3. Possession of methods of synthesis and analysis of information.
Course content
The main issues are presented that
concerning hydrodynamic modeling of atmospheric processes of different scales and
weather forecasting. The course consists of two content modules. The first is devoted to methods of
processing of meteorological information for numerical models, an overview of the basic
equations of hydrothermodynamics in different coordinate systems, and the formulation of the general problem
of the forecast, the second presents methods for solving weather equations, in particular
the basics of the finite difference method for solving weather equations, the solution of finite difference equations by the method of time steps, etc. Information on spectral
models and the basics of long-term hydrodynamic and statistical forecast
with a month-season lead time.

Assessment methods and criteria
The final assessment in the form of a test: the maximum number of points on the test is 40 points, the minimum number of points that are added to the semester - 24 points (60% of the maximum number of points allocated for the test).
Students who have scored at least 36 points during the semester (60% of the maximum number of points allocated for semester control) are allowed to take the test in the discipline.
For students who have scored during the semester a total of less points than the critical-calculated minimum - 36 points to pass the test must repeat the current control of knowledge (for example, in the form of testing) in the prescribed manner.
In the case of absence of a student for valid reasons, working out and retaking of control works are carried out in accordance with the "Regulations on the procedure for assessing students' knowledge in the credit-modular system of educational process organization" of October 1, 2010.
