1. The student's familiarity with climatology in general and its different classifications, with a focus on the regional climate, the North African climate, the Mediterranean climate and also the desert climate.2. Identifying the relationship of climate classifications as well as local and global climate changes to the general circulation of the atmosphere and solar radiation.3. Identify the weather phenomena that occur in the atmosphere and their impact on the global and local climate, especially the global warming phenomenon, the Nao phenomenon and the El Nino phenomenon.
Intended learning outcomes
a. Knowledge and understanding:1. The student should know the nature of climatology, climatic classifications - especially the Köppen classification, which is commonly used globally, with familiarity with the types of regional climates such as the Mediterranean climate, North Africa and the desert climate in particular because of their great influence on the Libyan climate.2. The student should describe the role played by the general circulation of the atmosphere as well as the difference in the amount of solar radiation in climate changes over the globe.B. Mental skills:1. The student draws an appropriate conception of climatology and its various classifications in general, as well as learning about the Mediterranean climate, the climate of North Africa, and the desert climate.2. That the student relates between climate changes and changes that occur in the circulation of the atmosphere. Climates of the globe according to the Koppen Classification, as well as the characteristics of each climate separately, with a focus on the Mediterranean climate.c. Practical and professional skills:1. The student should distinguish between the characteristics of the Mediterranean climate, the climate of North Africa, and the desert climate, and the overlapping of these characteristics in some cases, after learning about the nature of the climate in general and its different classifications.2. The student should know the extent to which climate changes are affected by the change in the general circulation of the atmosphere and also by the difference in the amount of solar radiation at the level of the globe.Dr.. General and transferable skills:1. The student should be able to use information technology to obtain information related to climate in general and climate classifications in particular.2. The student should be able to communicate with and communicate with scientific bodies and international research centers in order to learn about developments in the phenomena of Naw and El Nino and the size of their effects on the current climate changes.
