The main stages in the
development of dynamic meteorology, the thermodynamics of dry and moist air,
the vertical structure of the static atmosphere, the stability conditions of
a vertically moving air particle. The Lagrangian and Eulerian description of
the atmospheric processes, the basics of atmospheric kinematics, the
continuity equation, the moisture transport equation and their major simplifications.
The aim of the practices is to
increase the problem solving ability of the students, and teach them
upper-atmospheric measurement processing.

The basics of atmospheric
dynamics, the forces acting in the atmosphere. The general form of the
atmospheric hydro-thermodynamic equations in the Eulerian and Lagrangian
approach, in different coordinate systems (spherical, Cartesian, terrain-following,
pressure, sigma, potential temperature). The scale analysis of the equations,
balance motions. Circulation and vorticity. The vorticity and divergence
equations and their meteorological applications. The role of potential
vorticity in the evolution of atmospheric processes. Discontinuity surfaces
in the atmosphere. The aim of the practices is to
increase the problem solving ability of the students, to write the
atmospheric equations in different coordinate systems, to compute invariant
quantities of balance flows and wind fields (FORTRAN programming). |
