  1. Exam 1 Review AOS 121 October 12 2009

  2. Vertical Temperature Distribution Temperature Increases Temperature Decreases Tmin Temperature Increases AOS 121 October 12 2009 Tmax Temperature Decreases Tmin

  3. Barometric Law Very Low Pressure Pressure Decreases Exponentially With Height. Pressure Gradient Force Higher Pressure 5km ≈ 500mb Surface Pressure ≈ 1000mb

  4. Hydrostatic Balance

  5. Stefan-Boltzmann Wien’s Law and Stefan-Boltzmann Law Energy = σT4 • Increased Temp means that Energy emitted increases to the T4th. Wien’s Law Wavelength = α/T • Increase Temp means that peak Wavelength Decreases by 1/T
