humidity
water vapour in air
absolute humidity
mac amount of H2O avoir un air at a given temperature
relative humidity
a percentage of the absolute humidity
heating land/water
land absorbs and loses fast
water absorbs and loses very slow
layers of the atmosphere
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere
heat transfer
conduction: direct contact
convection: non direct contact
radiation: no contact
solar constant
1367 KJ/m2
1m2 of energy perpendicular to the sun
thermodynamics
heat transfer
Q=MC delta T
Q
quantity of heat
M
mass
C
how much energy is needed to move one gram of substance up or down
delta T
change in temperature
final - initial
Lv and Lf and gas solid liquid
LV: 2269 Lf: 333 solid: 2.1 liquid:4.18 gas: 2.2
heating land/ water
land: absorbs and loses fast
water: absorbs/loses slow
heating air
hawt radiates off of the ground to heat air (air moves and creates wind)
-earth roared and caused air to create wind patterns
