Definition of potential temperature
)/()( RcRsfc v
p
pT
This is the temperature a parcel would have if it was moved from some pressure and temperature to the surface.
This is Poisson’s equation.
![Page 8: AOSS 401, Fall 2006 Lecture 8 September 24, 2007 Richard B. Rood (Room 2525, SRB) rbrood@umich.edu 734-647-3530 Derek Posselt (Room 2517D, SRB) dposselt@umich.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e0f5503460f94af9fc7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This is a very important point.
• Even in adiabatic motion, with no external source of heating, if a parcel moves up or down its temperature changes.
• What if a parcel moves about a surface of constant pressure?
![Page 9: AOSS 401, Fall 2006 Lecture 8 September 24, 2007 Richard B. Rood (Room 2525, SRB) rbrood@umich.edu 734-647-3530 Derek Posselt (Room 2517D, SRB) dposselt@umich.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e0f5503460f94af9fc7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Adiabatic lapse rate.
For an adiabatic, hydrostatic atmosphere the temperature decreases with height.

Another important point
• If the atmosphere is in adiabatic balance, the temperature still changes with height.
• Adiabatic does not mean isothermal. It means that there is no external heating or cooling.
![Page 11: AOSS 401, Fall 2006 Lecture 8 September 24, 2007 Richard B. Rood (Room 2525, SRB) rbrood@umich.edu 734-647-3530 Derek Posselt (Room 2517D, SRB) dposselt@umich.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e0f5503460f94af9fc7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The parcel method
• We are going displace this parcel – move it up and down.– We are going to assume that the pressure adjusts
instantaneously; that is, the parcel assumes the pressure of altitude to which it is displaced.
– As the parcel is moved its temperature will change according to the adiabatic lapse rate. That is, the motion is without the addition or subtraction of energy. J is zero in the thermodynamic equation.

This is our first example of “instability” – a perturbation that grows.

This is our first explicit solution of the wave equation
• These are called buoyancy waves or gravity gaves.
• The restoring force is gravity, imbalance of density in the fluid.
• We extracted an equation through scaling and use of balances.– This is but one type of wave that is supported by the
equations of atmospheric dynamics.
• Are gravity waves important in the atmosphere?

Atmosphere in balance
• Hydrostatic balance• Geostrophic balance• Adiabatic lapse rate
• We can use this as a paradigm for thinking about many problems, other atmospheres. Suggests a set of questions for thinking about observations. What is the rotation? How does it compare to acceleration, represented by the spatial and temporal scales?

Atmosphere in balance
• Hydrostatic balance• Geostrophic balance• Adiabatic lapse rate
• But what we are really interested in is the difference from this balance. And this balance is like a strong spring, always pulling back. It is easy to know the approximate state. Difficult to know and predict the actual state.

We can show
• Horizontal gradients of both pressure and density must equal zero.– Hence horizontal temperature gradient must be zero.
T=T(z)
• If there is a horizontal temperature gradient then there is motion. If differential heating in the horizontal then temperature gradient. Hence motion.

There is force due to fact that there is a velocity gradient, and because our fluid is a fluid, the fluid surface responds to this gradient, which is called the shear.
