Atmospheric Moisture Circulations: Latent Heat and Condensation Influence

Explore the significant role of latent heat in atmospheric circulations, focusing on the formation of dew, frost, and fog. Learn how moisture travels northward, condensing in midlatitudes, and releasing latent heat, a crucial energy source for hurricanes and thunderstorms. Discover the impact of atmospheric rivers, such as the Pineapple Express, and how the release of latent heat affects apple buds and nighttime cooling. Unravel the mysteries of different fog types like radiation, ground, advection, upslope, and steam fog. Delve into the varied conditions contributing to frontal fog and the foggiest places like Cape Disappointment in the U.S.

  1. Latent Heat, Dew, Frost and Fog

  2. Atmospheric Circulations Move Moisture Northward

  3. Where some of it condenses in the midlatitudes and northern latitudes, releasing latent heat

  4. Latent Heat Is Also An Important Energy Source for Hurricanes and Thunderstorms

  5. Atmospheric Rivers A relatively narrow current of warm, moist air from the subtropics…often starting near or just north of Hawaii.
