Course content
The educational discipline "Fundamentals of hydrology and meteorology" is a mandatory component of the comprehensive training of specialists of the educational and qualification level "bachelor" in the specialty "193 - Geodesy and land management". It is divided into two modules. Module 1 "Fundamentals of hydrology" is devoted to the study of general patterns of processes in the hydrosphere, the interrelationship of the hydrosphere with the atmosphere, lithosphere; water cycle on Earth; the main regularities of the physical and geographical distribution of water bodies (rivers, lakes, glaciers, groundwater, swamps, oceans and seas) and their reserves; power sources of water bodies and their hydrological regime, as well as students' attention is paid to the examination and mastering of the main instruments and means of hydrometric observations and methods of hydrological research on water bodies. Module 2 "Fundamentals of Meteorology". The second module 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 basics of physical and geographical patterns of the distribution of meteorological quantities on the Earth. Familiarization with the main methods and means of measuring meteorological quantities.
