1. Introducing the Tephigram diagram, and all its components such as: isobars, dry isobars, saturated isobars, temperature isotherms, saturated isobaric lines, condensation, air cooling methods, as well as enabling The student is able to sign the data on the Alteva Gram chart and extract the atmospheric elements (temperature, dew point temperature, mixing ratio, saturated mixing ratio, relative humidity, saturated water vapor pressure, water vapor pressure, estimated (default) temperature, inertial temperature , condensation level by lift, freezing level and tropopause level elevation.2. Introduction to 1000 millibar level height gauges and thickness gauges. Also, cases of stability and instability and its multiple indicators.3. Understanding the thermal inversion: the radiative thermal inversion, the downward thermal inversion. Also understand radiation haze, haze hazard index, haze stability index.· 4. Definition of the fronts, their generation and their withering away. Also introducing the hoodograph chart, wind signature on it, and forecasting the minimum and maximum temperature.
