A TEST COMPETITION ON THE BASICS OF METEOROLOGY TOOK PLACE

Guided by the efforts of our Honorable President to provide modern education to the younger generation and to develop science, the "GeoGIS" scientific circle of the Department of Agricultural Melioration at the Turkmen Agricultural Institute held a quiz competition titled "Fundamentals of Meteorology," dedicated to World Meteorological Day. This competition was organized at the Turkmen Agricultural Institute within the framework of the project "Strengthening Higher Education in the Water Sector for Climate Resilience and Security in Central Asia" (HWCA), which is being implemented under the European Commission's Erasmus+ program. The competition aimed to increase students' interest in atmospheric phenomena, weather forecasting, and hydrometeorology, as well as to test their theoretical and practical knowledge.

During the competition, students demonstrated their skills in modern issues of meteorology, atmospheric physics, and the scientific basis of climate change. This is a practical celebration of the state policy aimed at improving the country's science and education system and training highly qualified specialists who are proficient in modern technologies and meet international standards. In the future, the regular holding of such competitions will contribute to the formation of young meteorologists and further strengthen the scientific potential of Turkmenistan.

As a result of the intense test competition, the following students stood out with their profound knowledge and accurate calculations and became winners: D.Myratgeldiyeva, a 2nd-year student of the "Agroecology" specialty; J.Nurmyradov, a 3rd-year student of the "Land Management and Cadastres" direction; E.Seyitmuhammedowa, a 1st-year student of the "Greenhouse Management" specialty; and R.Miriyeva, a 2nd-year student of the "Greenhouse Management" specialty. The winners and active participants of the competition were awarded Certificates of Honor.
