Document Summary
Stratosphere: temperature increasing with height (because ozone molecules abundant and. Pressure gradient force causes air to flow from high pressure to low pressure. Stronger, the spacing of the sober is close(1mb per 10m) Thermosphere movement of air in an order fashion causes of formation of wind: Cooling leads to condensation-leads to formation of clouds. Pressure decreases with height altitude wind closely spaced isobers. Strenghth of the wind will be much stronger than the widely spaced isober. Because of the balance between gravity and pgf. Fictious force due to the rotation of the earth. Has huge impact on a movie object in both hemisphere. Nothern hemisphere cause a deflection to the right. Least affect near surface, effect is much greater higher up in the atmosphere wind that blows parallel to isober only when cf=pgf (balance between both) happens 1km from surface. Thermally indirect(not sure what happens for energy exchange)ai friction influence wind 1km from ground up.
