The course deals with inter-relations between meteorology and technology. It is composed of two parts.
a. Meteorological techniques and their utilization for scientific and general public needs:

• Weather forecasting – methods and strategy, advantages and weaknesses
• Synoptic classification – methodologies and applications for environmental planning and climatological studies
• Meteorological satellites – principles and identification cloud types and patterns

b. How major fields of life are influenced by atmospheric conditions and assisted by meteorological information

• Aviation – principles and physical effects of weather phenomena on plains and pilots
• Air Pollution – the influence of the atmospheric condition on air quality
• Agro-meteorology – the atmospheric conditions needed for optimal growth of vegetation and live

The discussions involve descriptive physics, chemistry and biology

Prerequisite: Introduction to climate
