Meteorology, climatology and the water cycle

- weather/climate differences

- atmospheric structure, radiation balance, greenhouse effect, wind circulation, depressions/anticyclones, tropical cyclones, tornadoes

- general ocean circulation (Munk, main currents, Conveyor Belt)

- geographical distribution and definition of climates

- current climate change

- global water cycle, hydrological balance, water balance, energy balance above a cultivated plot to estimate evapotranspiration
