Annotation:
The aim of the course is to obtain a basic knowledge of (i) the Earth's atmosphere, (ii) bioclimatological methods of study (measurement approaches, instrumentation, etc.), (iii) the interaction between ecosystems and incident radiation (radiation balance, solar radiation transformation, etc.) ), (iv) the exchange of heat, water and CO2 between ecosystems and the atmosphere (turbulent flux generation, aerodynamic roughness of stands, energy and water balance of stands, etc.) and (v) the climatic effects of stands (soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, stands as climate-active surfaces, climate and microclimate of stands, etc.).
