UNIT I INTRODUCTION 9
Introduction: Definitions and terms – A brief survey of atmosphere: optical properties,
mass, chemical composition, structure, winds and precipitation. Components of Earth
system – Hydrologic cycle – Carbon cycle – Oxygen in earth system – Climate and earth
system
UNIT II ATMOSPHERIC THERMODYNAMICS 9
Atmospheric thermodynamics – The hydrostatic equation – First law of thermodynamics
– adiabatic processes – water vapor in air – moisture parameters, latent heats –
Normand’s rule – Unsaturated air, saturated air – second law of thermodynamics.
UNIT III ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY 9
Composition of tropospheric air – Sources, transport and sinks of trace gases –
Tropospheric aerosols – air pollution – tropospheric chemical cycles – stratospheric
chemistry
UNIT IV ATMOSPHERIC DYNAMICS 9
Kinematics of the large-scale horizontal flow – Dynamics of horizontal flow – primitive
equations – atmospheric general circulation – numerical weather prediction
UNIT V CLIMATE 9
The present day climate – Climate variability – Climate equilibrium, sensitivity – Green
house warming – Climate changes – Climate monitoring and prediction – weather
systems – tropical cyclones – case studies: tsunami and sea level rising, Acid rain– The
concept of El Nino.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
