3. earth’s axis tilted: 1 hemisphere receives more light causing summer; less light – winter
a. equinox – sun directly overhead on equator;
- autumnal equinox – Sept. 21
- spring (vernal) equinox – March 21

II. Pressure
- downward force exerted by the weight of the air; greatest at sea level; measured by the weight of the air (barometer)
![Page 12: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A. Higher pressure has a higher temp.;
- less pressure - cooler; ex. mt., heat pump
- less pressure – lets air rise faster to make winds
![Page 13: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

A. Sunshine
1. warmth & light
2. photosynthesis – makes food & O2
3. helps in evaporation/transpiration -
drives the water cycle
![Page 21: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4. creates optical effects
a. reflection – light bounces off a surface; ex. oceans reflect light
- albedo effect – reflectiveness of a surface; ex. snow & white shirt – high albedo
b. refraction – light moving from 1 medium to another, causes the speed to change & bends the light; ex. mirage
![Page 22: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

B. Conduction 1. Heat striking an object transfers
some energy to object; ex. sand gets hot on feet
2. materials vary in amount of heat absorbed (specific heat capacity) before temp. increases; ex. metal heats up faster than wood
![Page 24: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
C. Density of different temp.
1. heat – less dense, warm air rises 2. cold – more dense, cold air sinks
3. convection current – warm fluid that is less dense & rises; ex. in atmosphere, ocean, under the crust
![Page 25: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

IV. Water
A. Importance? Available
B. H2O & the weather – can occur in all 3 states at ordinary temps.
![Page 31: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
gas boiling condensation liquid
melting freezing Solid (ice)
![Page 32: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
- takes a great deal of energy to change the temp.
- oceans fluctuate less than land
- cold/warm ocean currents affect the air temp. above it
![Page 33: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
C. Water Cycle
![Page 34: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
- 9 places water found: clouds, groundwater, oceans, lakes, rivers, soil, plants, animals, glaciers
![Page 35: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
D. Clouds and Fog
1. Relative humidity: 100% - air becomes saturated; fog – ground level; clouds – above ground; warm air holds more moisture than cold air
2. water vapor (normally) condenses only onto a surface; ex. Dust, soot, sulfate - the bigger the particle the bigger the droplet; called CCN – cloud condensation nuclei
![Page 36: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
E. Rain -
water droplets more than .5 mm across collects around CCN; when too heavy they fall as rain
![Page 37: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
F. Snow & Sleet
1. Snow – water freezes to form crystals
2. Sleet – ice pellets smaller than 5 mm in diameter
![Page 38: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
G. Hail, thunder, lightning – caused by rising warm air
1. Hail – rising air currents carry water droplets up & they freeze.
This process continues & refreezes in layers. When heavy enough to overcome air currents, they drop
![Page 39: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
2. Thunder & lightning – rising air currents create convection currents – hot air rises at center while cold air sinks at sides
- thundercloud: has + electrical charge at top & - charge at the bottom. Eventually huge sparks flash between the charges, neutralizing them lightning.
- Lightning releases so much energy – that air which passes through it explodes thunder
![Page 40: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
- the difference in electrical charge can be more than 305 volts/ft.
![Page 41: WEATHER Meteorology - Study of weather. I. Basic Principles A. Earth in space 1. earth – spins on own axis & completes one rotation every 24 hrs. (causing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c48dd9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
