PPT-Air Pressure and Wind Chapter 19

191 Understanding Air Pressure Dont notice change in your day to day activities Mostly causeandeffect relationship Air pressure causes wind Wind brings change in temperaturehumidityprecipitation. Three real forces . (gravity, pressure gradient, and friction) push the air around. Two apparent forces . due to rotation (Coriolis and centrifugal). Large-scale flow is dominated by gravity/pressure and Coriolis … . The Atmosphere. Section 2:. Water and Wind. Properties of Air. Even though it appears that air has no mass, air consists of atoms and molecules that, in fact, have mass.. Because air has mass, it also has other properties, including density and pressure.. Coriolis. Effect. Air pressure differences cause the movement of air. Air moving parallel to the ground is called . wind. Air moving up or down is called a . current. Air generally moves from the poles to the equator, . 003: Lab 4. Chapter 4: 14ab, 15c. Chapter 5: 4abc, 10ab, 18. Chapter 6: 2ab, 7ab, 9acd. Chapter 7: 9ab. 4.14a,b. pg. 163. Isohyets: . . isopleths of rainfall. a). -same guidelines as all isopleths. Chapter 2.2 Guided Notes. What is Weather?. Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place.. What is Wind. ?. Wind is air moving across the surface of the Earth. It can move horizontally or parallel to the ground.. • . moving air. • horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. •winds can be . local or global. What is wind?. 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. Chapter 2.2 Guided Notes. What is Weather?. Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place.. What is Wind. ?. Wind is air moving across the surface of the Earth. It can move horizontally or parallel to the ground.. What is air pressure?. Air Pressure: the force exerted by the weight of the air above it. Why does the weight of the air not crush you?. The pressure is exerted in all directions, not just down. (Ruler and newspaper demonstration). September 22. nd. . Chapter 4: 14ab, 15c. Chapter 5: 10abd, 18. Chapter 6: 2ab, 7ab, 9acd.
