Analyze the composition and structure of the atmosphere and other geospheres at different spatial and temporal scales. (PR-10) To know the laws of occurrence and development atmospheric processes and phenomena; be able to identify, predict, model atmospheric processes and phenomena (PR-16) To know the properties and patterns of interaction components of the Earth's climate system, regularities of climate formation and change (PR 17)
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of the course in physics, general meteorology. 2. Knowledge of theoretical foundations of meteorology, laws of physics, in particular the laws of electromagnetic radiation, the ability to establish cause and effect relationships between phenomena and processes occurring in the Earth-Atmosphere system. Possession of the basic laws of solar radiation transfer in the atmosphere and in the system Earth-Atmosphere system.
Course content
The discipline is devoted to the study of the basic physical laws and processes that determine the transfer of solar radiation in the the atmosphere, as well as the transfer of thermal infrared radiation in the atmosphere. The course consists of two content modules. The first module - "Radiation transfer in the Earth-Atmosphere system" considers the basic laws of electromagnetic radiation and the processes of solar and infrared radiation in the Earth-Atmosphere system. The second module - "Greenhouse effect in the atmosphere" considers the physical nature of the natural and anthropogenic greenhouse effect and the main causes that causing global warming in the climate system.
