Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful completion of a school course in physics and physical geography. Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of physics, physical geography, the ability to establish cause-and-effect relationships between phenomena and processes occurring in the natural environment. Possession of methods of synthesis and analysis of information.
Course content
The course is devoted to the study of the Earth's atmosphere. The course consists of two content modules. The first module is devoted to the study of the composition and structure of the atmosphere, solar, terrestrial and atmospheric radiation, thermal regime of the atmosphere, soil and water surfaces, as well as water regime of the atmosphere. The second module deals with the formation and distribution of precipitation, atmospheric pressure field, wind regime, air masses and atmospheric fronts, atmospheric circulation over different latitudes, climatic factors.
