Objectives
-To provide the theoretical basis for understanding why and how the climate varies in a given place over the course of a year, but also from one year to the next, and between different places that are close to or further away from each other.
- to provide the practical bases for retrieving source data (event, "normal" or historical), exploiting them (compiling tables, calculating averages/medians/extremes, producing graphs, etc.), interpreting them (physical, geographical/topographical, or even macroclimatic processes) as well as their consequences (ecological, evolutionary).
- to provide a useful basis for a necessary perspective for their professional activity but also in the face of the media coverage and democratization of the phenomenon of global climate change and especially of its effects and its "visible" or non-visible signs.
The teaching is presented in the form of 3 sequences. Each sequence is open to continuing education. The order of the sequences can be modified according to the availability of external speakers.
Session 1: Theoretical basis of meteorology and climatology
Meteorology & Climatology, effects on species and ecosystems
3 sessions of 3 hours, followed by the realization of a work in non presential
Sequence 2 : Acquisition and exploitation of climatic data
Preparation of data + problems by group
Restitution of the work by groups + collective synthesis
3 sessions of 3 hours
Sequence 3: Forecasts and models
Speaker Météo-France (forecasts + climate change)
1 session of 3 hours
Knowledge control
