Red wavelengths are longer, sunset seen through more atmosphere than during day (across vs straight up) - scattering. Coriolis force deflects to right changes direction not speed (reversed in southern hemisphere) is not constant wind direction moves high to low pressure, while being deflected by coriolis force. Which of the following are used to identify places of equal amounts of rainfall: isohyets b) isoclines c) isotherms d) isobars. Isobar spacing indicates strength of pressure gradient ozone (o3) found primarily in stratosphere important for interaction with uv radiation recent cat 5 hurricane in philippines increase in pressure = increase in density. Low temp high wavelength high temp short wavelength suns energy peaks in visible wavelengths.
