Aims of the course To understand processes of pollution in the atmosphere and complex numerical models of atmospheric pollution. 
Learning outcomes Finalizing this course student can understand how works numerical model of the atmosphere and transport of atmospheric pollution. After the understanding the complex processes of the pollution and its modeling, student runs numerical models of the pollution.
