New cards

4 heat transfer mechanisms

conduction

convection

advection

latent heat

2
New cards

Conduction

Heat transfers by direct contact

air is a poor conductor

only warms a shallow layer on still days

3
New cards

Convection

warm air rises, cool air sinks

creates thermals, turbulence, cumulus clouds

thermal cells: rising air cools/expands, sinking air warms/compresses

4
New cards

Advection

Horizontal heat transfer

warm/cold air masses moving: fronts, fog formation, temp changes

5
New cards

Latent Heat

heat absorbed/released during phase changes

evaporation absorbs heat, condensation releases heat

drives storm developments, icing, cloud formation
