Content

The lecture is in the field of Physics - Meteorology - Measurement

a) Physical models for describing the relationships between water and soil

Physical properties of water: surface tension, capillarity, flow resistance, sedimentation


Temperature and heat in the soil: heat conduction equation and its solution, temperature oscillations as a function of time and depth


b) Measurement and digital processing of physical/meteorological parameters

Sensors: measurement of temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind, length, strain, force


Digitization: Processing of analog signals, use of computer programs and interfaces, methods of data processing and analysis

Control engineering: Measurement and control loops, open and closed control loops, PID control

Previous knowledge expected
