| Summary |
|---|
Fundamentals of climatology, specific atmospheric processes,
meteorological variables and atmospheric phenomena. The global atmospheric circulation.
Meteorological elements, their measurement and dynamics. Hydrometeorological data -
acquisition and processing. Development climate in the geological history of Earth,
paleoclimatology and paleoclimatologic methods, the proxy data. Global climate hange. Climatic zones of the Earth, climatic classifications.
Basic concepts of hydrology, hydrography - river network and its parameters,
hydrometry - measuring water levels and flow rates. Methods of hydrological
data. Basin water balance equation - its elements and methods for their determination.
Overview of standards and legislation in hydrology. Using remote sensing and GIS in hydrology,
climatology and meteorology. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
Curriculum is structured into thematic areas in order to familiarize students
the basics of meteorology and climatology with a narrower focus on hydrological information and data, measurement of these elements and their further use for hydrological and hydrometeorological forecast analysis in GIS.
Output knowledge, skills and competence:
After completing the course the student should demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts, understanding of basic processes and phenomena in the atmosphere, being able to explain the meteorological and climatological phenomena and events that are taking place in it. The course also enables the understanding of weather and learn the ways of obtaining meteorological data and information. In particular, the course is focused on hydrological data, hydrological processes and concepts. After understanding the context of each student is able to use basic analytical tools of GIS. |
