(PR-16)
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of the course in physics, mathematics, general meteorology, thermodynamics of the atmosphere. 2. knowledge of theoretical foundations of meteorology, laws of physics, in particular physics of the atmosphere, the ability to establish cause-and-effect relationships between phenomena and processes occurring in the atmosphere. Possession of the basic laws and laws of modern theoretical meteorology.
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.
