Postgraduate Certificate in Meteorological and Climatic Physics

The understanding of atmospheric and climatic phenomena has acquired great relevance nowadays due to its impact on multiple areas of daily life. For this reason, at TECH Technological University we have developed the University Course in Meteorological and Climatic Physics, an academic program aimed at training professionals capable of understanding and analyzing these phenomena in a rigorous and systematic way. During this course, the basic concepts of atmospheric physics will be addressed, from the thermodynamic properties of air to the principles of fluid dynamics. The different scales and patterns of climate variability will also be studied, with an emphasis on short- and long-term variability and global climate change.

The understanding of the processes of climate variability and climate change will also be discussed.

The understanding of meteorological and climatic processes is fundamental in areas such as agriculture, water resource management, urban planning, natural disaster prevention and management, among others. Therefore, this university course offers a solid grounding in the theoretical and practical fundamentals of weather and climate physics, allowing students to develop skills in the identification of weather patterns, risk assessment, numerical modeling and interpretation of climate data, among other key aspects to understand climate variability and climate evolution at the global and regional level.
