Postgraduate Certificate in Atmospheric Thermodynamics
The understanding of atmospheric dynamics and its effects on our environment is crucial to the study and understanding of global climate processes. The undergraduate course in atmospheric thermodynamics offered by TECH Global University provides students with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of these topics, as well as the practical application of thermodynamic theories and principles in the study of climate and the atmosphere. This course focuses on the analysis of thermal energy and heat transfer processes and their influence on weather patterns, as well as atmospheric phenomena such as hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones. In addition, the latest research in the field and the implications of these discoveries for the future of our planet will be discussed.
In the atmospheric thermodynamics college course, students will learn the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, including the concepts of entropy, energy and work, and their application to the Earth's atmosphere. Changes in temperature and pressure in the atmosphere and their relationship to atmospheric circulation will also be discussed. In addition, the driving forces that drive climate systems, including natural and anthropogenic climate variability, will be discussed. Upon completion of the course, students will have a solid understanding of atmospheric thermodynamics and its role in understanding and predicting global climate, as well as the skills necessary to apply this knowledge in research and practice.
