Synopsis:

General principles of meteorological measurement, data resources, and measurement design. Meteorological and climatic measurements. Hydrological measurements. Tracers in experimental hydrology. Remote sensing for hydrology and meteorology. Evapotranspiration measurements. Data analysis. Modeling in hydrology. Modeling in ecology and biology. Inverse modeling.

Requirements:

Not applicable.

Syllabus of lectures:

Introduction, data resources, design of measurements, standards, standards, calibration, selection of one of the optional follow-up topics for independent study (the student chooses a topic from the annually updated list - e.g. flash floods, photometeors, surface runoff, wind speed scales, etc. or after consultation with the lecturer, a topic of his/her own).

Meteorological and climatic measurements - physical principles of measurement, history, and present, examples of the selection of optimal sensors for monitoring in construction and ecology (air and soil temperature, air pressure, dew point temperature, radiation, sunshine duration, air humidity, wind speed, and direction).

Hydrological measurements (liquid, solid, deposited precipitation, interception, streamflow discharge measurement, water quality, groundwater, snow). Tracer experiments. Pressure and ultrasonic sensors.

Methods for estimating, measuring, and calculating soil evaporation and vegetation cover transpiration (evaporation pans, transpiration flux measurements - Granier and HFD method including evaluation, lysimeters, eddy covariance method).

Data analysis (integrity analysis, replacement of missing data - e.g. calculation of extraterrestrial radiation, correlation of adjacent rain gauge stations, calibration and control of humidity measurements).

Gravimetric measurements, local hydrological influence on ground measurements, use of GRACE satellite mission, and remote sensing.

Monitoring of anthropogenic soil systems. Extensive and intensive green roofs, and grass pavers. Engineering, hydrological, climatic, and ecological functions of these systems in urbanized watersheds.

A brief overview of modeling options in hydrology, biology, and ecology. Inverse modeling.

Syllabus of tutorials:

Statistical analysis of meteorological data series and checking the accuracy of relative humidity measurements.

Calculation of Rn from extraterrestrial radiation.

Energy balance of snow cover and „Degree day method“.

Replacement of measurements by correlations of rain gauge stations.

Calculation of evaporation intensity from the water surface.

Possible participation in field measurements according to the student's area of expertise.

Study Objective:

Understanding of the general principles of meteorological, climatic, and hydrological measurements. Introduction to the basics of mathematical modeling in environmental sciences and inverse modeling.
