Course content
The discipline is devoted to the study of the Earth's atmosphere. The course consists of two content modules. The first is dedicated to the study of the composition and structure of the atmosphere, solar, terrestrial and atmospheric radiation, the thermal regime of the atmosphere, the surface of the soil and water bodies, as well as the water regime of the atmosphere. The second module deals with the formation and distribution of atmospheric precipitation, the baric field of the atmosphere, the wind regime, air masses and atmospheric fronts, atmospheric circulation over different latitudes, climate-forming factors.
