tropospheres altitude
5-10 miles deep
water cycle
the sun provides the energy to evaporate water into the atmosphere where it forms clouds and eventually falls back to earth
AWS(automatic weather stations)
are highly technical pieces of equipment based on ground that take readings of temperature, humidity, windspeed, direction, baromatic pressure, and transmit weather stations
exospheres altitude
310 miles
weather balloons
take electronic instruments high into the atmosphere and transit reading into ground stations
mesosphere
contains nitrogen oxygen molecules. still to thinly spread to allow breathing
troposphere
the air we breath. contains 99% of all atmospheres molecules. Contains molecules of O2, nitrogen, traces of water vapor, CO2, and many other gases contain flows, wind, and global weather pattern movements
satellites
orbit earth and transmit information about winds, clouds, ground temperature, and ocean waves
atmosphere
the multi layered 600 mile shield if gases that surrounds the earth
factors that determine weather
air pressure, wind, temperature, and moisture in the air
greenhouse temperature
59
five layers of earths atmosphere
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
thermospheres altitude
50-310 miles
mesospheres altitude
30-50 miles
exosphere
consists mainly of hydrogen atoms
stratosphere
contains concentrated ozone levels. earths main shield from suns ultraviolet ray. occasional cloud and turbulence
weather
the daily condition of the atmosphere
thermosphere
below exosphere and contains ionosphere
thermospheres temperature
-9.4
mesospheres temperature
-30-0
radar
stands for radio and detection ranging. consists of a transmitter that fires off pulses of microwave radiation
sun
energizes the atmosphere into what we know as weather
greenhouse effect
natural lasting process of earth and its atmosphere
geostationary satellites
orbit above the equator at the same rotational speed as earths to remain over the same area
stratospheres altitude
6-30 miles extended
