            Course content
        
        
            The discipline is devoted to the study of
structure and structure of the atmosphere; the main physical processes occurring in the
the Earth's atmosphere; considers dynamic processes at different levels in the atmosphere. The course
consists of two content modules.
The first module - "Atmospheric composition. Atmospheric statics" considers
the structure of the atmosphere and the main meteorological processes occurring in dry and
and humid atmosphere.
The second module - "Atmospheric dynamics. Thermal state of turbulent
atmosphere" considers elements and models of the moving atmosphere; turbulent
heat exchange.

            Control is carried out by a modular rating system. The maximum score
is 100 points, 60 of which a student can gain during semester control and
40 points - at the exam.
Mandatory for the exam is the development of all practical work and writing
module tests.
