Learning outcomes of the course unit

Increase knowledge and skills of students is especially true in those areas.
a) Graduates of the course will be to understand the interaction between the atmosphere in relation to the transfer of energy and matter.
b) Graduates will be based on their knowledge to predict load troposphere using technical analysis.
c) The student will be able to predict the effects of pollution sources on a local scale.
d) The student will acquire knowledge, which is necessary prerequisite for the application of both in scientific and in technical practice
e) Completion of the course is a prerequisite for degree courses MCO_TOZ and MCO_TEO, study program.

Prerequisites

Successful completion of the course is conditional on the knowledge of physic, organic, anorganic and enviromentl chemistry

Aims

The course aims to provide students with advanced information about the chemistry of the atmosphere and the interrelationship long range. Through lectures and visits to selected workplace or localities students will gain knowledge about the transmission of energy and matter in the atmosphere and the formation and occurrence of extreme situations in the atmosphere.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at lectures is not compulsory, but is recommended.
Check the instruction in the combined study is carried out at least three mandatory consultations during the semester.
Checking in full-time education is provided through the discussion forums at lectures, after the end of contiguous block of lectures.
It is intended for consultation on the topics for study program students, checking a comprehensive understanding of the issue is in the form of study may draw essay.
It is intended for consultation for full-time students.
