Description:
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Expanding the knowledge about the dynamics of the atmosphere on large scales in midlatitude. The aim is to motivate the students to select an advanced research topic in the field of weather analysis and forecasting. Students prepare for the public presentation of
scientific hypotheses, methods and results of the analysis.

COURSE CONTENT:
The teacher recommends to the students a topic for the seminar paper related to the weather analysis and provides appropriate literature. The topic should be related with operational meteorology as it is possible. The topics related with Croatian territory have some priorities (e.g. Mediterranean cyclones) or the topics devoted to special applications e.g. in aeronautical and marine meteorology.

LEARNING MODE:
Attending weekly seminars, critical studying of the literature, participate in the discussions

TEACHING METHODS:
Independent exploration of the literature, consultations with the teacher

METHODS OF MONITORING AND VERIFICATION:
Students are obligatory to attend weekly seminars.
Active engagement during the course. Oral presentation of the seminar work on selected topic.

TERMS FOR RECEIVING THE SIGNATURE:
Preparation and oral presentation of the seminar work on selected topic.

EXAMINATION METHODS:
No exam.
