Aerosols
Tiny solids in the atmosphere
Ozone Formula
O3
Ozone depletion’s largest offender is ____
CFCs
Troposphere
Lowest layer where weather phenomena occurs. Air “turns over”
Environmental Lapse Rate
The decrease in temperature as your altitude increases
Tropopause
Separates the troposphere from the next layer: the stratosphere
Stratosphere
Extremely hot layer above the tropopause that is identified by the large ozone concentration, causing this layer to be extremely hot.
Stratopause
Separates stratosphere from mesosphere
Mesosphere
Extremely cold layer of atmosphere (-90C).
Mesopause
separates mesosphere from thermosphere
Thermosphere
1000C. No defined upper limit. Although there is so few matter, constant high-energy waves are 1000 C.
Perihelion
January 3rd, when earth is closer to sun
Aphelion
July 4th, when Earth is farther from sun
Circle of Illumination
Seperates the dark and light half of earth
June 21-22
Summer Solstice (sun strikes tropic of cancer)
December 21-22
WInter Solstice (sun strikes tropic of capricorn)
Sep. 22-23
Autumnal Equinox
March 21-22
Vernal Equinox
what are lines that connect points of the same temperature
Isotherms
Does land heat more rapidly than water?
Yes. Water has a higher specific heat
Humidity
Amount of water vapor in air
Saturation
maximum amount of water vapor air can hold
Mixing Ratio
Mass of water vapor-laden air compared to mass of dry air (remaining)
Relative Humidity
% of water vapor in the air compared to how much it can hold at that temperature
