*”weather” is the ‘state’ of the ‘atmosphere’, to the degree that it is…*
‘hot’ / ‘cold’
‘wet’ / ‘dry’
‘calm’ / ‘stormy’
‘clear’ / ‘cloudy’
.
(most weather phenomena occur in the lowest level of the ‘atmosphere’ – the ‘troposphere’ – just below the ‘stratosphere’)
(‘weather’ refers to day-to-day ‘temperature’ and ‘precipitation activity’, whereas ‘climate’ is the term for the averaging of atmospheric conditions over longer periods of ‘time’)
(when used without qualification, “weather” is generally understood to mean the weather of ‘earth’)
(‘weather’ is driven by ‘air pressure’, ‘temperature’, and ‘moisture differences’ between one place and another)
(these differences can occur due to the sun’s ‘angle’ at any particular ‘spot’, which varies with ‘latitude’)
(the strong ‘temperature contrast’ between ‘polar’ and ‘tropical’ air gives rise to the largest scale ‘atmospheric circulations’: the ‘hadley cell’, the ‘ferrel cell’, the ‘polar cell’, and the ‘jet stream’)
(weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as ‘extratropical cyclones’, are caused by instabilities of the ‘jet stream flow’)
(because the earth’s axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane, ‘sunlight’ is incident at different angles at different times of the year)
(on earth’s surface, temperatures usually range ±40 °C (−40 °F to 100 °F) annually)
(over thousands of years, changes in earth’s orbit can affect the amount and distribution of ‘solar energy’ received by the earth, thus influencing ‘long-term climate’ and ‘global climate change’)
(‘surface temperature’ differences in turn cause ‘pressure’ differences)
(higher altitudes are cooler than lower altitudes as most ‘atmospheric heating’ is due to contact with the earth’s surface while radiative losses to space are mostly constant)
(‘weather forecasting’ is the application of ‘science’ and ‘technology’ to predict the state of the ‘atmosphere’ for a future time and a given location)
(the earth’s weather system is a chaotic system; as a result, small changes to one part of the system can grow to have large effects on the system as a whole)
(human attempts to control the ‘weather’ have occurred throughout history, and there is evidence that human activities such as ‘agriculture’ and ‘industry’ have modified weather patterns)
(studying how the weather works on other planets has been helpful in understanding how weather works on ‘earth’)
(a famous landmark in the ‘solar system’ – jupiter’s great red spot, is an ‘anti-cyclonic storm’ known to have existed for at least 300 years)
(however, ‘weather’ is not limited to ‘planetary bodies’)
(a star’s ‘corona’ is constantly being lost to space, creating what is essentially a very thin atmosphere throughout the ‘solar system’)
.
(the ‘movement’ of ‘mass’ ejected from the ‘sun’ is known as the ‘solar wind’)
