The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the theoretical and applied in issues concerning the formation of conditions in the lower layers of the atmosphere (atmospheric boundary layer) with emphasis on the lower layer of the atmosphere (surface boundary layer) and on small spatial and temporal scales of interest to the Agriculture. In the context of the course, the Earth-Sun motion is analysed in relation to the formation of atmospheric conditions and in particular the radiation balance. The study of the atmospheric circulation together with its consequent horizontal motions with particular emphasis on the wind parameter in relation to the topographical relief, the coexistence of the wind and the land/sea coexistence and the configuration of the wind speed distribution over and within the
and over and above the crop rotation. The atmospheric disturbances and weather associated with
and the possibilities and measures to be taken in order to reduce the impact of atmospheric disturbances and the associated protection of agricultural crops from adverse weather events.
