Recorded November 28, 2017
Registration fee: $25
Do you feel that understanding the weather is too difficult for you? It is probably because you do not have a good foundation in the reason that our weather occurs and of some of the basic concepts that are important to understand weather dynamics. This module looks at the suns radiation, the seasons and your latitude as the sources of temperature differences on the earth, and how the earth terrestrial radiation and not solar radiation heats our atmosphere. The all important role of moisture in the atmosphere is discuss along with the adiabatic process (how rising air produces clouds and moves energy aloft). These two concepts are critical to all weather from a global through local scale.
