Poles
________- Energy Deficit, more energy released than coming in.
New cards
3
Continental climates
________ have much larger ranges of temperature from summer to Winter.
New cards
4
Insolation
________ drives the earths atmosphere system.
New cards
5
wavelengths
Scattering is when light gets bounced around in the atmosphere without altering the ________.
New cards
6
Edinburgh
________ has a higher latitude than Montreal, but Montreal has the higher deviation though because its not near the ocean.
New cards
7
Temperature
________- The measure of average kinetic energy of individual molecules in matter.
New cards
8
Cirrus clouds
________ are lighter and thicker, transmit a lot of shortwave radiation to the surface, and has a warming effect because it slows the release of longwave radiation.
New cards
9
Temperature inversion
________: Normal conditions have air cool as it rises.
New cards
10
Troposphere
________- lowest most layer in the atmosphere.
New cards
11
Stratus clouds
________ are darker and reflect most shortwave radiation.
New cards
12
Evaporation
________ is higher over water surface.
New cards
13
Water
________ has a higher specific heat than soil or rock, meaning it heats or cools slower.
New cards
14
Energy
________ gets intercepted by lots of things: land, ocean, clouds, gases, dust, etc.
New cards
15
Transparency
________ affects transmission of solar radiation.
New cards
16
color black
The ________ has a much lower albedo and absorbs a higher percentage of radiation.
New cards
17
Latitude
________- Temperatures are reduced as you move north or south of the equator.
New cards
18
Radiative transfer
________: Deals with the energy leaving the surface and moving to the energy, greenhouse effect bounces the greenhouse energy back and forth until is escapes.
New cards
19
Albedo
________- reflectivity of a surface; expressed as % of insolation reflected.
New cards
20
Topography of landscape
________: The landscape determines whether pollutants are dispersed or concentrated in an area.
New cards
21
Cloud Cover
________- Low thick clouds keep the earth surface warmer.
New cards
22
Greenhouse Effect
________: Energy is getting absorbed into the atmosphere but is getting trapped, with the atmosphere delaying transfer of heat from Earth to space.
New cards
23
Albedo
reflectivity of a surface; expressed as % of insolation reflected
New cards
24
Latent Heat
Energy involved in changing the state of water (evaporation)
