Annotation -

Last update: doc. Mgr. Jiří Mikšovský, Ph.D. (15.05.2020)

Atmospheric fronts, the structure of cyclones and anticyclones in the mid latitudes and their diagnosis and prediction. Relations between numerical weather prediction methods and methods derived from the classical Bergen school of meteorology.

Aim of the course -

Last update: doc. Mgr. Michal Žák, Ph.D. (15.05.2020)

The gain of this lecture is to give information about basic atmospheric features influencing the weather, possibilities of their description by methods based on the classical Norwegian meteorological school and by modern numerical forecasting methods.
