Course objectives
To obtain the basic informatin about energy exchange between the earth surface and atmosphere and about consequences of mentioned processes on temperature, humidity and kinetic features of boundary atmosphere. Consequences of specific types of ground surface and its geometry on boundary atmosphere
Syllabus
  • Introduction - a boundary atmosphere as a layer of contact with earth surface and as a part of landscape sphere, climatic categories. Radiation balance of ground surface and its components. Energy balance of ground surface and its components. Time regime and consequences in temperature of ground surface underlier. Temperature conditions of boundary atmosphere as a consequence of energy balance, layers of boundary atmosphere according to different criterions. Evaporation as source of atmospheric humidity - methods of estimation. Humidity conditions of boundary atmosphere - molecular and turbulent transfer of water vapour and their consequences in regime and vertical changes of humidity characteristics. Vertical profiles of air streaming in boundary atmosphere. Influence of different ground surfaces on the atmosphere (water, snow, relief morphology). Planetary bounrady layer and its significance as a layer of pollutants diffusion.
