1. To provide students with a basic understanding of basic meteorology and weather events
2. Students will be able to interpret the general characteristics of weather maps, and further to become familiar with the temporal and spatial representation of meteorological variables (e.g. temperature, atmospheric pressure).
3. Students will learn about modern methods of weather forecasting.
1. Students will understand the meteorological, climatology and geographical aspects of the earth that influence on all most all activities of the human being.
2. Students will understand the natural phenomenon with respect to fisheries activities like such as pond construction, assessment of the suitability of pond and the fishing in open water.
THEORY
1. Nature of Atmosphere: weather and climate; composition of atmosphere; structure of atmosphere.
2. Heat energy of atmosphere: process of heat transmission; heating of atmosphere; disposal of insulation; irregular heating of atmosphere.
3. Temperature: Temperature instruments; periodic, horizontal and vertical temperature variations; effects of vertical air motion on temperature. Humidity and water vapour: relationship between temperature and humidity; distribution of water vapour in atmosphere; evaporation, humidity instruments and measurements.
