To introduce the physical and dynamical structure of the upper atmosphere;
To study the variability of the upper atmosphere;
To study the interaction between Solar phenomena and upper atmosphere;
To study the physical and dynamical coupling mechanisms between upper and lower atmosphere;
To introduce the importance and role of upper atmosphere in whole atmosphere problems and their solutions
In this class, the general physical and dynamical structure of the upper atmospheric layers, namely, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Ionosphere and Magnetosphere, are studied using theory, available simple models and satellite and/or ground based data. In addition, the Sun, atmospheric layers of the Sun and solar activity, interaction between solar flares and CMEs and upper atmosphere, space weather concept and its effects on upper atmosphere, Sun-Cosmic Ray-Climate interaction are studied. Practical implications of upper atmospheric variability towards meteorological and space engineering are discussed.

Understanding the Earth’s Atmosphere and its mechanisms; learning the basic factors like heat and temperature, moisture, pressure and stability and determining the meteorological factors occurring as a result, like fog, precipitation, wind and etc.; examining the clouds and their characteristics; learning the forces in the atmosphere and their mechanisms; determining the jet streams, air masses, fronts, Highs and Lows; learning the mid-latitude cyclones, general circulation, thunderstorms and lightning; weather forecasting.
To equip students with the skills to identify, set, and develop actionable goals for their educational and career pathways.
To provide students with the knowledge and tools to effectively access and utilize the various services and resources offered by the institution
Academic advising is a training/education process that helps to bring meaning and purpose to undergraduate study. Through the undergraduate study, it provides intellectual and personal development of academic achievement and lifelong learning. Academic advising in ITU provides opportunities for students to gain access to education, personal and career goals, realize the abilities needed for academic success, learn how to access the countless resources and services offered by the institution, and establish relationships with one or more academic advisers.
