1 Latent Heat, Dew, Frost and Fog

2 Atmospheric Circulations Move Moisture Northward

4 Where some of it condenses in the midlatitudes and northern latitudes, releasing latent heat

5 Latent Heat Is Also An Important Energy Source for Hurricanes and Thunderstorms

6 Atmospheric Rivers A relatively narrow current of warm, moist air from the subtropics…often starting near or just north of Hawaii.
