Climatological field practics 1900-3-PRK-HK

The classes prepare students to independently carry out scientific research in the field of meteorology and climatology, based mainly on data collected in the field. They allow to improve the techniques of meteorological measurements and observations (at standard meteorological and field stations) and develop the ability to interpret the obtained results. As far as possible it is so Types of translations
The aim of the classes is:
- gaining practical skills in obtaining source materials used in meteorology / climatology;
- establishing professional contacts with specialists and practitioners;
- acquiring the ability to investigate and evaluate meteorological conditions on a local scale, taking into account various applications of the conducted measurements
- acquiring practical skills in the use of radar images / satellite images
- improving the techniques of meteorological measurements and observations
Assumptions:
- work is performed individually or in small groups under the supervision of a specialist;
- the results of measurements are used in the research work of the Department and in the conducted diploma theses;
- internships may be conducted in cooperation with IMWM measurement services or other research units.

Chamber works include:
- training in measurement and selection of research methods;
- preparation of measurement results;
- workshops on recognizing signatures in radar photos
Field exercises are aimed at:
- performance of assigned / independently initiated research and measurement tasks;
- topoclimatic measurements in various types of landscape;
- practical aspects of field research.

Prerequisites (description)

The classes are intended for students of the Hydrology and Climatology specialization. As there are vacancies, other students interested in the issues raised during the internship may participate at the request of the academic supervisor of the diploma dissertation or the head of the unit where the work is carried out. The condition for participation in the classes is signing and following the internship regulations. Before starting to study the subject, the student should have intermediate knowledge in the field of meteorology and climatology, topoclimatology and basic knowledge in the field of physical geography. Theoretical knowledge and practical skills in organizing field meteorological research are also recommended.

Assessment criteria

Internship - credit
Continuous assessment:
- attendance
- timely implementation of the next stages of field work
- development and analysis of measurement results
- activity during classes (reporting problems that arise during the performance of tasks, interpretation of the obtained results, participation in discussions, ideas of non-standard solutions, application significance of research)
- participation in the preparation and presentation of a summary lecture

It is recommended to present the research results, e.g. at a scientific meeting of the Department of Climatology.
