About Charles University - Department of Atmospheric Physics

Research and study at our department to focus on highly topical issues of high societal impact - the main issues include climate and climate change, modeling of atmospheric chemistry and air quality, turbulent flow modeling in small scale research or gravitational waves and their impact on global circulation. The Department is involved in the areas concerned and involved in a number of foreign and domestic research projects. Field of meteorology and climatology at MFF UK currently based mainly on hydrodynamics and thermodynamics of the atmosphere, the widely used knowledge of other branches of physics. Scientific and educational activities of our department are focused on several key areas: - Studying the dynamics and development of the climate system, numerical modeling of the processes involved, climate models, issues of climate change and projections of future development. - Flow in the boundary layer, modeling of atmospheric turbulence and modeling of atmospheric transport, spatial dispersion and transformation of the pollutants in the air dynamic and synoptic meteorology, current state of the atmosphere and its development, weather forecast nonlinear dynamical systems in the atmosphere, deterministic chaos and predictability of atmospheric processes. - Processes of the middle atmosphere, stratosphere and stratospheric ozone, large-circulation, links with other regions of the atmosphere, influence of solar activity - Modeling of atmospheric chemistry and air quality. - Satellite observations, physics of clouds and precipitation, atmospheric aerosols.
