1 ATMOSPHERIC VARIABLES
Temperature

2 Definition Average kinetic energy of molecules
If moving fast Higher temperature If moving slow Lower temperature

3 Measuring Air Temperature
Instrument: Units/Scales: ESRT p 13 Thermometer Fahrenheit (oF) Celsius (oC) Kelvin (oK)

4 Kelvin 0o K = - 273o C o K ~ - 460o F Absolute Zero -Temperature at which molecules stop moving Everything emits energy as long as the temp is above 0o K

5 Isotherm Lines of equal temperature on a map

6 ESRT Page 13 What do you notice about the oF scale that is different from the other 2?

7 32 oC = ________ oF 65 oF = ________ oC 325 oK = ______ oF 90 18 126
