But first, more about air masses and the atmosphere

Atmospheric compositon Nitrogen (N2) 75.5% Oxygen (O2) 23.1% Argon (Ar) 1.3% Everything else: 0.1%

Atmospheric structure

Temperature change in the troposphere Environmental lapse rate (ELR). 0.6 degrees C per 100m. Note, this is for air that is NOT moving vertically. It’s just hanging out. Adiabatic lapse rates Dry: 1 degree C per 100m (DALR) Wet: ~.5 degree C per 100m (WALR) Explain reasons for difference.

Temperature inversions Warmer air above colder air. Common in valleys and over cities Google a few pics

Atmospheric pressure and winds

Coriolis effect Different speed/energy between poles and equator Gives things a spin Effect is that air masses have an effective spin as they move along

Global circulation (very simplified)

High vs low pressure High – descending colder air. Presses on the earth’s surface. Descending = no precip! Because it is warming as it descends. Winds blow out of a high. Low – ascending warmer air. Pulling up from the surface. Often associated with precip. Winds blow into a low. Hurricanes tornados

Combine Coriolis with pressure. See wind patterns https://www.windyty.com http://hint.fm/wind/ http://www.weather.com/ http://www.weather.com/maps/satellit e/westernhemisphereweathermap

Weather! Long term weather is climate. So… climate is what you should get, weather is what you get. Think wind, temperature, precip. We’ve covered temp. Wind speed = differences in pressure. How do we get water out of the air? Cool it. But how do we do that? Force it to rise. Mountains Denser air masses (frontal precipitation) Convectional

Orographic Precipitation Mountains. Air going over mountains. Explains weather in the west. Relationships between elevation, temperature, pressure, and humidity.

Google Earth. Look at current wind/weather patterns. Then onto https://www.windyty.com/?50.177,-108.809,3 And http://hint.fm/wind/ Check out www.weather.com for general weather and http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ for hurricanes. Or turn on weather in Google Earth.
