GEOG 2050 Chapter : Geog 2050
Document Summary
If the environmental lapse rate is below (6 degreees) than the moist and dry rate you are stable. If it is higher than dry rate you are unstable: conditionally unstable between 6 and 10. Instability causes bad weather: cloud types, nimbal stratus, all day nasty drizzle. Fog types: advection, movement of air, horizontal, radiation fog, cannot happen over water bc water temp doesn"t change fast enough from night to day. Chapter 4: why does the wind blow, friction, pressure changes when the temperature changes. Low versus high pressure: high is colder, clear skyes stable. Image of sea surface temp if it is blue it is la nina and el nina is red. She will give a temperature and amount of water in the air: read the blue line. Isobars perpendicular??: what pressure zone is warm and rainny. Itcc: what conditions exist at the poles, dry and cold.
