The types of synoptic
observations; the operation of the synoptic observation and data collection
network; visualization of certain meteorological elements by maps and other
tools; the structure and contents of synoptic codes; using synoptic maps and
diagrams, and evaluating the weather information provided by them;
classification of the atmospheric phenomena by characteristic size, lifetime
and energy content; the properties of pressure and wind fields; the role of
balance flows in the synoptic analysis; the vertical structure of the
atmosphere, vertical sounding; the role of vertical motions in the synoptic
analysis; the formation and properties of midlatitude pressure systems; air
masses, air mass analysis and transformation; discontinuity surfaces in the
atmosphere; polarfront theory, the types of weather fronts, their structure
and role in forming the weather. |
