PPT-The Atmosphere Basic Climatology

Oklahoma Climatological Survey Funding provided by NOAA Sectoral Applications Research Project What we are going to cover Composition of the Atmosphere State Variables Measuring the Weather. Key Terms. Atmosphere. – a thin envelope of gases that encircles the earth and other particles (aerosols). Weather. – the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. Meteorology. – the study of the atmosphere and the processes that cause weather. Essential Points. Heat, Temperature and Temperature Scales. The Electromagnetic Spectrum. Composition of the Atmosphere. Layers in the atmosphere are defined by temperature profiles. How pressure varies in the atmosphere. Daniel B. Thompson, Lance F. Bosart and . Daniel Keyser.
