COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Students will be introduced with:
(i) ways of organizing work at meteorological stations,
(ii) measurements and observations of meteorological quantities using instruments and methods of observation,
(iii) the observation of severe meteorological events using radars,
(iv) determining the cloudiness and type of cloud in terms of height, composition, and shape of the cloud, and
(v) monitoring of observations and encryption of meteorological data.
2. Linking theoretical knowledge from previous meteorological courses with practical work at meteorological stations.
3. Students learn how to monitor meteorological phenomena, observe the states of the atmosphere, and associate their changes with weather changes.
COURSE CONTENT:
Properties of hydrological occurrences, hydrological data, basin, and runoff factors. Hydrometry: measurements of water level, velocity, water, and sediment discharge. Stage hydrograph, discharge curve, hydrograph and its parts, frequency curves and water level and discharge curves, runoff coefficient, and specific discharge from a basin. Probability and statistics in hydrology. Linear and nonlinear correlation, double mass amounts. High waters: distribution curves, unit hydrograph, triangle-shaped hydrograph, isochrone method. Rational formula and other empirical formulas. Low waters of various return periods, periods of low water, and hydrological drought. Sedimentation in watercourses. General equation of hydrological balance. Regional hydrological analysis.
