Overview

1. Knowing the concept and basics of agricultural meteorology and its importance. Agricultural monitoring stations and processing their data.2. Providing students with knowledge of weather elements (rain, humidity, temperature, ...), as well as frost and drought and their effect on plants.3. Identifying the role played by the change in soil moisture and the change in the amount of sunlight in the growth of plants.4. Learn how to use weather and agricultural data in conducting agricultural studies (phenological monitoring).

Intended learning outcomes

a. Knowledge and understanding:A.1 The student should know the role played by atmospheric science in the agricultural field.A.2 The student explains the effect of changing the different weather elements on plants.A.3 That the student explain the meaning of available soil moisture and the process of photosynthesis in plants.A.4 The student describes agricultural studies using meteorological and agricultural information. It also describes the ranges of vegetation.B. Mental skills:B.1 The student analyzes the functions of the agricultural monitoring stations and their meteorological data in developing the agricultural process.B.2 That the student compares the change in the measured atmospheric elements with the change that occurs in plants and trees.B.3 That the student deduces the importance of light in plant growth and composition and the effect of the degree of light intensity on the plant.B.4 That the student distinguishes the various agricultural studies by using various weather data and various agricultural data. C. Practical and professional skills:C. 1 To use the appropriate devices to process the agricultural meteorological data from the agricultural meteorological stations.C.2 The student should perform the important agricultural monitoring process in plant growth, for example: measuring the effective temperatures at night and during the day.C.3 The student should diagnose the plant's response to the photoperiod, divide the plants according to the length of the photoperiod, and the effect of light on the distribution of plants.C.4 The student should distinguish between agricultural meteorological studies related to grass cover growth and agricultural meteorological studies related to tree growth.Dr.. General and transferable skills:D.1 The student should be able to use the computer and the Internet to understand how to deal with agricultural meteorological data (temperature, accumulated temperature, soil temperature, humidity, rain, wind, precipitation) and process them.D.2. The student should be able to use appropriate audio and visual means to present information about drought, the effects of drought on plants, plant tolerance to drought, and drought indicators.D.3 The student should be able to work in a team to find a solution to the problems of frost and drought and their impact on plants and trees.
