Objective
Improvement knowledge of meteorological and climatological effects, which can influence measuremets.
Knowledge
Students will manage theoretical basics of weather and climate studies. They will achieve an overview about influence of atmospheric phenomenon and actions on human society activities and about historical and future changes of atmospheric features, contingent on natural and anthropogenic factors.
