GPH 213 Study Guide - Final Guide: Vehicle Emissions Control, Coriolis Force, Longwave
Document Summary
-multiple choice-- (41 questions) test on 5/12th: physics of electromagnetic energy. Physical laws: sun puts out shortwave energy, earth long wave, seasons, relative humidity, climate change gasses. ^ or v: tree rings used to reconstruct climate, ice cores used to reconstruct climate, heat energy. Bodies emitting vs. reflecting: electromagnetic spectrum, soil moisture. Potential evaporation: energy balance, energy, greenhouse effect, radiation, altitude angle, albeido; reflectivity, earth/sun geometry, forces in atmosphere. Coriolis, pressure, friction: coriolis force, flow in atmosphere circulation, climate data set characteristics, earth/sun, moisture, forces in atmosphere. Coriolis, pressure gradient in s. hemisphere: energy, climate change, moisture in atmosphere, albeido, evaporation of potential evaportranspiration, energy, earth/sun geometry, answer true, coriolis, climate change. Long term: overgrazed lands, in semi-arid areas. 7 questions need to answer 6: what is climatology, stations located in different areas. How to distinguish them: pressure gradient, coriolis force, climate identification.
