Summary |
---|
The part of the subject called "Meteorology ..." explains the basic processes in
atmosphere, respectively. troposphere. It characterizes the conditions of individual monitoring meteorological elements such as temperature, relative humidity, cloudiness, precipitation, evaporation, wind.
It statistically evaluates data collection and performs daily and annual analyzes selected meteorological elements.
In the second part of the course "...... climatology" explains climate,geographical factors . It also explains the concepts of macro, mesoclimate and microclimate. Climate of the Czech Republic. |
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
---|
Monitoring meteorology parameters for evaluation of climatology process.Processing of currently measured meteorological quantities and statistical processing of long-term climatological series.
|
Course Contents |
---|
1. Meteorology as a scientific discipline, climatology as a scientific discipline. Subjects and objects of study of these disciplines, differences.
2. Temperature as a meteorological and climatological element. Characteristics - quantities needed for practice. Daily and annual temperature in the Czech Republic, extreme values in the Czech Republic. Geographical factors of horizontal temperature changes. Spatial temperature distribution in the Czech Republic. Measurement - standard conditions, instrumentation, standard height, time. Thermal anomalies - problems of thermal islands in the Czech Republic.
3. Statistical methods of processing of measured values of temperature - arithmetic mean, weighted average, isotherm method.
4. Relative humidity as a meteorological and climatological element. Characteristics - quantities needed for practice. Geographical factors of horizontal changes in relative humidity. Spatial distribution of relative humidity in the Czech Republic. Daily and annual course of relative humidity in the Czech Republic, extreme values in the Czech Republic. Measurement - standard conditions, instrumentation, standard height, time and method of psychrometric tables.
5. Condensation products: cloud cover. Types of clouds - precipitation active, their genesis, morphology.
