Purpose and description of the content of education:
The aim of the module is for the student to acquire knowledge and skills in the field of broadly understood automatic meteorological stations. The student gains knowledge about the types of measurement stations and the measurement sensors used in them. He/she becomes familiar with the most important principles of location of measurement stations, operation and servicing of measurement sensors, construction and programming of ASM recorders and methods of downloading data from them. He/she also becomes familiar with the methods of visualization and interpretation of the acquired data with particular emphasis on explaining differences in measurements and measurement errors that occurred
