| Additional literature | Is announced at the beginning of the course. |
| Organisation and teaching style | Lecture, tutorial, seminar
This module is offered to students of the bachelor course "Physics" with a total extent of 8 credit points due to the reduction of the seminar. |
| Course assessment, assessment mode | This module is a compensable electoral module. It is passed if - lectures and tutorials were attended regularly and successfully (at least 50% of the in the tutorial accessible points have to be gained).
- the seminar was attended successfully.
- If the test is passed. If the test is not passed there will be the opportunity for a timely re-test (written or oral). If the re-test is not passed there will be the opportunity for a second oral re-test. If this one is not passed the module is failed finally.
The mark of the test (or re-test) is the mark of the module. |
| Learning/ qualification targets | Lecture: - Overview of basic equations of the atmospheric dynamics
- Comprehension of the derivation and limitation of the approximation
- Comprehension of conserved quantities
Tutorial:- Deepening of the lecture by working independently on problems of atmospheric dynamics
Seminar:- Independent work, solution and presentation of subject related problems.

| Prerequisites for attending | Passed modules - Einführung in die Geophysik und Meteorologie
- Experimentalphysik I
- Experimentalphysik II
- Mathematische Methoden der Physik
|
| Frequency of the offer | Every 2nd summer semester |
| Imparted interdisciplinary competencies and soft skills | --- |
| Applicability in other courses of studies | This module is suitable as an electoral module in the bachelor course "Physics". The examination board can allow exceptions of the prerequisites for attending for subsidiary students. |
| Accumulation in overall mark | Yes, weighted with the factor 15/180. |
