What is Weather?
Weather is the condition of the Earth’s Atmosphere at a given time.
It is different than climate, which is the conditions of a region over many years.
It takes place in the troposphere.
It can change drastically in a 24 hour period.
What causes Weather?
All elements of weather are the direct result of energy from the sun.
The sun’s rays hit earth and the land absorbs the heat unevenly.
This uneven heating causes changes in weather.
The atmosphere is heated mainly by the energy that is radiated back up from the Earth’s surface.
Air temperature
Cloud cover
Amount of sunlight
Relative humidity
Precipitation
Wind speed
Wind direction
Temperature
Temperature is amount of heat in a substance. Expressed in degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade (Celsius)
The temperature of a region is affected by latitude and the altitude.
Temperature is measure by an instrument called a thermometer.
It is a layer of air that surrounds the earth.
It is made up of many gases.
78% Nitrogen
21% Oxygen
< 1%-Carbon Dioxide,Water vapor and other greenhouse gases.
The air molecules get closer together, which makes the air heavier or more dense and molecules begin to interact with eachother and heat up.
Hot air expands or rises. The molecules get further apart, become less dense and they get lighter.
Familiar???? (yep, convection currents!)
Air Circulation
Since warm air rises, the upper part of the room is the warmest. The coolest part of the room would be closer to the floor.
As gases spread out and their volume increases, their temperature decrease.
What kind of relationship is this????
Convection Currents
Is the act of a cold fluid or gas pushing a warmer, more dense fluid or gas out of the way.
Air is always moving from high pressure to low pressure.
The strongest winds are tornadoes, the air pressure is extremely low.
Wind speed is measure using a device called an anemometer.
Wind Direction is always stated in terms of where the wind is coming from.
The sun heats up the water on land and causes evaporation.
The moisture that is in the air is called humidity.
Saturated is when the air has too much moisture and cannot hold anymore.
Relative Humidity
It is the ratio of how much moisture is in the air and how much the air can hold.
50% humidity means the air is holding 50% moisture
Precipitation
When there is too much moisture, the water will fall as precipitation.
Precipitation will fall in two main forms: rain or snow depending on the temperature of the air through which the moisture will fall.
Other forms of precipitation are sleet and hail.
Snow
If the air is cooled below the freezing point of water, the condensing moisture is quickly freeze into ice crystals.
The ice crystals join to make snowflakes
Snowflakes are always six sided.
Rain
When droplets of moisture join together becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground.
Hail
Formed in cumulonimbus (storm) clouds. They are frozen droplets of moisture.
Sleet
It takes 10 centimeters of snow to make one centimetre of rain.
Dew is moisture in the air cools off at night. In the morning it is found on everything. In colder temperatures, dew is frost.
Air Pressure
The force that is applied on everything on the Earth caused by the weight of the air.
Air particles are mobile, they exert pressure on objects.
High air pressure brings warm, dry air. Low air pressure brings rain or moisture
Air Pressure
Air pressure can change quickly, ie- when a storm comes in.
There are three factors that affect air pressure: altitude, air mass temperature and the amount of moisture in the air.
A Barometer is used to measure air pressure.
Some are high in the sky, while others are so low they touch the ground.
No matter what shape or elevation, clouds form the same way, by having water vapor condense onto small solid particles like dust, sea salt, and pollution
They provide rain and snow.
They also help retain heat, so it doesn’t escape quickly back into space.
On hot days, clouds provide shade
Cirrus- found high in the atmosphere
Cumulus- found in mid-atmosphere
Stratus- found in the low atmosphere
Nimbus- storm clouds.
Cirrus
They are thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers.
Cumulus
They are puffy clouds that sometimes look like pieces of floating cotton
They can develop into a giant cumulonimbus, which is a thunderstorm cloud
They resemble fog that does not reach the ground.
Usually no precipitation falls from stratus clouds, but sometimes they may drizzle.
The Earth tilts on its axis 23.5 degrees.
The area of the Earth, that heats up more, is closer to the sun.
When we are tilted towards the sun, it is summer.
Spring and Autumn are the in between orbits.
