Chapter 2 Flashcards
Scientific models of the earths atmosphere system the graphical model
Complies and displays data in a format that readily conveys meaning
Example would be a weather map
Scientific models of the earth’s atmosphere system the physical model
Miniature versions of the system and example a tornado vortex chamber
Scientific models of the earth atmosphere system numerical model
Used by meteorologist a mathematical equation represent relationships among system there wolves any sample would be a global climate model in raising carbon the oxide and I’ll climate Marable I have constant Carmen the next day increased results are noted
What is the automated surface observing system a SOS
Consist of electronic sensors computers fully automated communications ports
The data to NWS forecast offices 24 hours a day
Measurement of environmental conditions by processing signals either emitted by in object or reflected back to a single source is called what?
Remote-sensing
List three ways you can monitor the atmosphere
Satellites raider remote-sensing
Lowest layer in the atmosphere weather occurs within temperature decreases with altitude
Troposphere
What is a tropopause
Transition zone to next layer
It is a Stratophere
Stable conditions ideal for jet aircraft travel chat balloons directions in glower
Scientific models of the atmosphere system conceptual model
Statement of a fundamental law or relationship
Starts from stratopause up. Temperature decreases with increasing altitude
Mesosphere
In the sphere temperature isothermal initially than riser rapidly
Sensitive to incoming solar radiation or variable than another regions
Thermosphere
Located mostly in the thermosphere it has a high concentration of ions and electrons
Politically charged Adam skill particles caused by solar energy stripping electrons from oxygen and I didn’t molecules and it leaves a positive charge
Ionosphere
It’s which sphere can you find auroras
Ionosphere
How are auroras caused?
Solar wind subatomic superhot electrically charged particles
Earth spring medic field to Flixel there wind and it makes a teardrop shape cavity known as magnetosphere
