Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The main objective of the Batchelor Course in Meteorology II, is to study the
the basic concept in Cloud Physics and Precipitation. It shall be done on a systematic way, which will be sufficient for students to understand the main concept of hydrometeorology and to increase the level of understanding and knowledge and of the main nucleation mechanisms responsible for formation of clouds and precipitation. In addition students will also learn about the atmospheric electricity and optical processes and phenomena. The full set of lectures is as follows:
(Thermodynamics –A brief summary)
Hydro meteorology
Precipitation
Hydrometeors
Water balance
Physical aspects of cloud formation
Nucleation
Köhler curve
Atmospheric electricity
Electric field
Thunderstorm electricity
Mechanism of charge separation
Electric phenomena in the atmosphere
Lightning protection
Atmospheric optics
Reflection, refraction, diffraction, diffusion
Optical phenomena in the atmosphere.
