The course of Meteorology-Climatology is an introductory course in the fields of atmospheric science and applied climatology. At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to understand and analyze the basic atmospheric processes and their spatiotemporal variability.
The practical session of the course provides fundamental knowledge about surface and upper air meteorological charts and skew-T diagrams. The laboratory work is also essential for the learner in order to demonstrate its skills on data processing and its long-term statistical analysis.
– Basic characteristics of the Earth system
– Principals on Atmospheric thermodynamics
– Atmospheric stability
– Spatiotemporal scales of motion
– Introduction to atmospheric kinematics
– Weather systems and forecasting
– Fundamentals of the global climate system
– Major climatic phenomena.
The teaching method is consisting of 2 hours attending lectures and 1 hour for practicing and laboratory work on weekly basis. The basic assessment type of the course is the written examination at the end of the semester (3 hours).
At the beginning of each laboratory session there is also a short time (~10 minutes) compulsory test based on the contents of the previous laboratory course. The possible results of each practice test are pass or no pass and the student is necessary to pass 9 out of 12 tests in order to participate in the final written examination.
The module is also available through eclass platform (http://eclass.hua.gr/courses/GEO102/).
