Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to

  • explain the contradictions and connections between observations, measurements and mathematical models
  • describe and perform the most important measurement techniques in hydrology, technology of instruments, field work, and planning field campaigns
  • explain the basics of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing methods in hydrology, their applications and limitations

Subject of course

1) Why measure? Measurement and math. Models; Fundamentals of measurements; Measuring instrumets and measuring principles (from early to present); Meteorology <=> Hydrology: Measurement of hydrometeorological phenomena (precipitation, temperature, humidity, radiation, ...): Students' presentations: 29 March 2023, 14-16:00

2) Half-day EXCURSION to the Central Institute for Meteorology, radiosonde ascension; Considerations for planning of measurement networks and measurement campaigns: 19 April 2023

3) Half-day LABORATORY WORK at the hydraulics laboratory: discharge measurements with diffrent methods, linking measurements with mathemitical models: Group 1 and 2 on 10 May 2023; Group 3 and 4 on 17 May 2023, 14-16:00

4) Preparations for the field work (see 4) - aim of the excursion (research questions, where to go, what to do, schedule, evaluation plan): 24 May 2023, 14:00-16:00

5) FIELD WORK - Measurements of hydrological characteristics in the field: 7 June 2023 (whole day)

6) Practical evaluation of the data measured in the field.
