| Course description |
| This course provide the basic theory of meteorology necessary in order to maintain and manage the farm land. The first half, the meteorological factors, transfer of heat and moisture, photosynthesis will be discussed. The second half, the formation of local climate and its application to crop production and meteorological disaster for agriculture will be discussed. |
