| Kompetenceområder | |||||||||||||||
| Competencies obtained within basic science: · Understanding of the basic climatic elements at micro, local and meso scale in order to · Transfer this field of application to relevant plant production and silvicultural problems by combination of basic principles and elements. Competencies obtained within applied science: · Apply climatological principles and methods from more extensive and specific climate/plant related courses within agricultural, horticultural and silvicultural science. Competencies obtained within ethics & values: · Reflects on causes and effects in relation to air pollution and climate change | |||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||
| The objective is that the student by his own will be able to estimate the local climate and its dependence on terrain conditions together with its influence and dependence on the vegetation. The aim is further to provide a fundamental physical knowledge for a professional work within topics as climate management and atmospheric environment. | |||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||
| The course comprises the following three general themes: A) Basic understanding of the boundary layer physical and climatic elements B) Applied principles and methods within plant science C) Specific applied methods relevant in agricultural, horticultural, forest and landscape relations. A. Basic: Micro, local and meso climatic elements, Energy balances, Radiation geometry, Atmospheric properties, Wind/heat/humidity transport mechanisms, Boundary layer transport, Shelter effects, Evapotranspiration, Climates of simple non-vegetated and non-uniform surfaces, Global climate, Climate classification, Air pollution and the boundary layer, Climate change and the environmental impact. B. Applied, general: Climates of vegetated surfaces, Forest climate and hydrology, Intentionally modified climates, Glasshouse climate, Inadvertent climate modification, Urban climate, Crop and local weather, soil-plant-atmosphere modelling, Atmospheric deposition and dispersion in the boundary layer. C. Applied, specific: Climate stations, Climate and orchards, Climate modification by outdoor growing, Climate management in greenhouses, Climate and forestry, Climate change and tree growing. | |||||||||||||||
