Full-time form

1. Successful completion of high school courses in physics and physical geography. 2. The ability to identify cause-and-effect relationships between phenomena and processes in the natural environment. 3. Proficiency in methods of synthesizing and analyzing information.

This course is devoted to the study of Earth’s atmosphere. It consists of two content modules. The first module focuses on the composition and structure of the atmosphere, solar, terrestrial, and atmospheric radiation, the thermal regime of the atmosphere, the surface of the ground and bodies of water, as well as the water regime of the atmosphere. The second module examines the formation and distribution of atmospheric precipitation, the atmospheric pressure field, wind patterns, air masses and atmospheric fronts, atmospheric circulation at different latitudes, and climate-forming factors.

Lectures, lab work, independent study, quizzes, and an exam.

Final assessment in the form of an exam: the maximum number of points on the exam is 40; the minimum number of points added to the semester grade is 24 (60% of the maximum number of points allocated for the exam). Students who have earned at least 36 points during the semester (60% of the maximum number of points allocated for the semester assessment) are eligible to take the exam in the course. Students who have earned a total of fewer than the critical minimum—36 points—during the semester must retake the current assessment (e.g., in the form of a test) in accordance with established procedures in order to be eligible to take the exam.
