- Course objectives
- To obtain the basic informatin about energy exchange between the ground 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 - boundary atmosphere as contact air layer with earth surface and as a part of landscape sphere, climatic categories and physical principle of their definition. Radiation and energy balance of ground surface, their components and regime. Effects of 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 boundary layer as a component of human environment and its significance as a layer of pollutants diffusion.
