2 Questions
Match the following terms with their correct definitions:
Atmospheric radiation = Energy emitted from the earth's surface warming the air directly above Adiabatic cooling = Air mass increasing followed by air temperature decreasing, resulting in cooler air parcel Orographic lifting = Green side: windward side experiencing cooler temperatures and condensation Unstable equilibrium = Higher chance of storm happening with greater temperature differences
Match the following scenarios with their outcomes:
Parking lot vs. grass cover = More energy released from the parking lot due to absorbing more solar radiation Air parcel rising vs. sinking = Adiabatically cooling for rising parcel and becoming warmer for sinking parcel Greater temperature differences vs. storm intensity = The greater the temperature differences, the greater the intensity of the storm Elevation increase vs. temperature change = Elevation increase leads to cooler temperatures and condensation on windward side
Test your knowledge on the transfer of solar energy through electromagnetics waves, the characteristics of infrared radiation, and the impact of aerosols in the atmosphere. Explore topics like cloud formation, rain droplet formation, and the effects of aerosols on air temperature.
