Aims of the course |
The
aim is for students of physics of all study programme to get acquainted with
the physical laws that apply in the atmosphere and how the occurrences and
changes in the atmosphere take place according to these laws. |
|
|
Learning outcomes |
By
taking this course students acquire knowledge from the basis of meteorology.
The outcome of the course is that a student can understand the processes and
phenomena in the atmosphere that they encounter every day. The outcome is
that the acquired knowledge can be further transferred to high school if the
professor opts for work at school. Students in the direction of theoretical
and experimental physics knowledge gained through listening to this subject
can use in research related to the atmosphere and processes in it. Knowledge
from meteorology will be useful for studying ecological subjects, if a student at applied physics first of
all. |
