Work. needed to lift a unit of mass from sea level to a given altitude…. Matt Vaughan. ATM 619. Motivation. Moisture is an important factor in cyclogenesis. Moisture is a necessary ingredient in extreme precipitation events. Neiman and Shapiro (1993). Motivation. Latent heating modifies the pressure field around cyclones, affecting the track and intensity of the surface cyclone. Equation of state for dry and moist air. SO254 Introduction to Meteorology. Variables. Meteorology is, at its core, calculus and physics applied to air. That means that underlying every aspect of meteorology is math. 19.1 Understanding Air Pressure. Don’t notice change in your day to day activities. Mostly cause-and-effect relationship. Air pressure causes wind. Wind brings change in temperature/humidity/precipitation. The Water Cycle. Factors that Affect Evaporation.

Grew up in Houston, TX, with a life-long interest in weather. Meteorology graduate from OU. Weather results from differential heating and cooling of the Earth’s Surface.. Land heats and cools faster than water.. Areas receiving more direct solar radiation heat faster than those receiving less direct solar radiation.. MUSTANSIRIYAH UNIVERSITY . COLLEGE OF SCIENCES.
