HOW IS ENERGY TRANSFERRED?
• As you already know,
all of the earth’s
energy initially comes
from the SUN, with its
steamy average
temperature of
15,000,000oC, and its
energy output of 3.83
x 1023 kJ/s.
![Page 17: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
HOW IS ENERGY
TRANSFERRED?
• Weather and climate patterns are based
on the transfer of energy between and
within air masses and water bodies.
• 4 METHODS OF ENERGY TRANSFER
– RADIATION
– CONDUCTION
– CONVECTION
– ADVECTION
![Page 18: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. RADIATION
• The transfer of energy in the form of
WAVES.
• This type of energy can travel through A
VACUUM (empty space) as opposed to
through a MEDIUM (s, l, g).
• Examples of radiation waves include:
– UV, visible light, gamma rays, etc.
![Page 19: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

collision of particles through solids.
• Occurs in conductive materials (i.e.,
metals).
• Small role in weather, bigger role in
surface heating.

3. CONVECTION
• The transfer of energy by the VERTICAL
movement of particles in FLUIDS.
• Fluids are considered LIQUIDS or
GASES.
• Important for weather patterns.

4. ADVECTION
• The transfer of energy by the
HORIZONTAL movement of particles in
fluids.
• Important for weather patterns.
• Ex: FOG

These forms of heat transfer do
not always act alone!
![Page 27: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
THE ALBEDO EFFECT
• Recall that ALBEDO
is an objects ability to
reflect LIGHT.
• LIGHT-coloured
objects have a HIGH
albedo.
• DARK-coloured
objects have a LOW
albedo.
![Page 28: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
HOW MUCH OF THE SUN’S
ENERGY IS REFLECTED?
• Refer to Figure 4 on p. 506 of your text.
• If we count the Sun’s energy as starting with 100 %, then:
– ____ is absorbed by land/oceans
– ____ is absorbed by clouds
– ____ is reflected by surface
– ____ is reflected by clouds
![Page 29: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
HEAT SINK
• Any object or material that ABSORBS
energy and becomes WARMER.
• A GOOD HEAT SINK is one that heats
ups SLOWLY, absorbing a LARGE
amount of heat before it heats up, such as
WATER.
• A POOR HEAT SINK increases its
temperature QUICKLY when exposed to
even a SMALL amount of heat, but it
LOSES heat just as quickly, such as what
happens with rocks, soil, or sand.
![Page 30: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
HEAT CAPACITY• A measure of the amount of heat energy
required to raise the temperature of 1
gram of a substance by 1oC.
• See Figure 5 on page 506 for a list of
some heat capacities.
– WATER has a high heat capacity, meaning it
has to absorb a lot of heat to increase in
temperature.
– METALS has a low heat capacity, meaning it
increases temperature with a relatively small
addition of heat.

What is the Atmosphere?
DEFINITION:
• The blanket of air and water vapour that
surrounds the Earth.
• If the earth were an ONION, the atmosphere
would be like the ONION PEEL.
• It is about 500 km thick, containing 78% N ,
21% O , and some trace elements (ex: CO2,
H2O, Ar).

LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE• Defined according to ALTITUDE, or
elevation above sea level.
• TROPOSPHERE
– 8-16 km altitude, layer closest to earth’s
surface
– This layer is the most dense, meaning it
contains the most particles.
– Weather occurs in this layer.
– Temperature ranges from 20 to -50degrees
Celsius.
– The tropopause is on the upper end of this
layer.

LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE• STRATOSPHERE
– 16-50 km altitude
– Very dry, temperature average is 10o degrees
Celsius.
– This layer contains ozone, responsible for
absorbing UV radiation from the Sun.
– Supersonic jets fly in this layer.
• MESOSPHERE
– 50-80 km altitude
– Temperature average is -75 degrees Celsius.

LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE• THERMOSPHERE (IONOSPHERE)
– 80-500 km altitude
– Temperature average is 30o degrees Celsius.
– Molecules and ions have high energy
because they are absorbing powerful waves
from the SUN.
– On earth, we can see the Aurora Borealis in
the Northern Hemisphere and the Aurora
Australis in the Southern Hemisphere.

AURORAS• The Sun ejects ionized particles into space that travel to
the Earth. Earth’s magnetic field deflects these particles
toward the poles, creating massive magnetic storms.
They vibrate, and when they return to the original state,
light is emitted.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
• Defined as the pressure that air particles
exert as gravity pulls them toward the
centre of the earth
• Air pressure is greatest at sea level where
air is most dense (i.e., thick)
• Air pressure decreases with altitude.
– Thus, if you climb a mountain, the weight of
the air above you is less, and the pressure is
less.

PRESSURE GRADIENT
• Another factor that affects air pressure is
whether air is rising or falling.
• A pressure gradient is a measure of these
changes in air pressure over set distance.
• Pressure gradients can be vertical or
horizontal.
![Page 50: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
HORIZONTAL PRESSURE GRADIENTS . .
. • Horizontal pressure gradients can be
shown on a map by joining points of equal
atmospheric pressure in concentric
circles.
• They can be used to predict high and low
pressure areas and direction and strength
of winds.
High Wind speed (lines close together)
Low wind speed (lines far apart)

HOW DO WE MEASURE AIR PRESSURE?
• Air pressure is measured with an aneroid
barometer, (“aneroid” meaning “without
water).
– Figure 5, p. 512.
• Air pressure is measured in kPa, or
kilopascals. 1 kPa = 1000 Pa.
– If a barometer detects a :
• low pressure system (less than 101.3 kPa), this is
a sign of poor weather.
• High pressure system (greater than 101.3 kPa, this
is a sign of good weather.

WINDS• Wind is the movement of air in the
atmosphere.
– Some winds are local while others are
prevailing.
• Local winds occur in a fairly small
region.
• Prevailing winds are wind patterns that
affect large regions around the world.

PREVAILING WINDS• In the early 1800s, SAILORS discovered
that, in certain areas, the winds blow in the
same direction all of the time.

THE CORIOLIS EFFECT• The change of DIRECTIONof a moving
object in a constantly rotating system.
• The rotation of the EARTH deflects
moving air AND water to the RIGHT of its
initial direction in the Northern Hemisphere
(opposite in the Southern Hemisphere).– Note:
• This direction of deflection is from the viewpoint of the
starting position of WHAT IS BEING DEFLECTED (ex:
plane, wind, etc.).

Prevailing Winds in the Northern Hemisphere
• Prevailing Winds help distribute energy and
moisture around the globe.
• TYPES IN NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
– Polar Easterlies
• Cold easterly winds blow from the poles to 60 degrees.
– Mid-Latitude Westerlies
• Warm, moist winds blow from the west
• NEWFOUNDLAND is affected by these.
– North East Trade Winds
• Winds that blow toward the equator

JET STREAMS• Fast moving riversof air that race across the high
altitude sky, sometimes at speeds as high as 400
km/h.
• Jet streams occur about 7000 m up in the upper
regions of the troposphere.
• They consist mostly of westerly winds, and are
caused by strong differences in pressure and
temperature.
• Air at the equator is thickerand moves from high to
low pressure areas (i.e., N or S of the equator).
• Jet streams can be thousands of miles long,
hundreds of miles wide, but only a mile or so deep.

JET STREAMS• Pilots can reduce flight time by hitching a ride on a jet
stream.
• Long lines of clouds often indicate the presence of a jet
stream.

THE HYDROSPHERE• Water covers 70 % of the Earth’s surface,
or 320 million cubic miles.
• The hydrosphere is all the water that
exists on the planet. It includes water in:
– Oceans
– Rivers
– Lakes
– Aquifers
– Glaciers/ice
– Atmosphere

WATER DISTRIBUTION• 97.5% is salt water, 2.5% is fresh water.
• Most of our fresh water supply is trapped in polar ice
caps (87.3%).
• Canada is rich in fresh water resources, having 10%
of the total world supply.

THE HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE• Water is cycled through air, land, and water
bodies.
• Important processes that occur in the water
cycle include:
– EVAPORATION: liquid to gas
– CONDENSATION: gas to liquid
– TRANSPIRATION: evaporation from leaves
– SUBLIMATION: solid to gas
– DEPOSITION: gas to solid
– INFILTRATION: seep into ground
– PRECIPITATION: rain, snow, hail, sleet

MAJOR OCEAN CURRENTS• Oceans have a HUGE effect on weather
patterns. Here are just a few of the ways
water is significant in this regard:
– Oceans are heat sinks since most of the
sun’s direct rays hit water.
– If water is warm, air above it is warm,
meaning lots of moisture. If water is cold, air
above it is cold.
– Warm water is constantly moving from the
equator to the poles.
– Cold water is constantly moving from the
poles to the equator.

FYI – Just for FUN• In 1992 a container ship in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean lost 29 000 bath tub toys over the
side. Rubber duckies started washing ashore all
over the west coast of North America.
• In 1990 in a similar type accident 80,000 pairs of Nike
shoes were swept off a Korean ship headed for the
United states. Nike shoes started showing up from
Hawaii to Oregon and as far north as Alaska.
• These two accidents provided valuable information
to oceanographers regarding ocean currents

CLOUDS• Clouds are a collection of water droplets
that has become dense enough to be
visible. Water evaporates and cools as it
rises, and condenses into clouds.
• They are important indicators of weather
patterns.
• Clouds can be grouped according to how
they form, how they are shaped, whether
or not they will lead to precipitation, and
how high they are.

3 TYPES OF CLOUD FORMATION
• 1. CONVECTION CLOUDS
• 2. OROGRAPHIC CLOUDS
• 3. FRONTAL CLOUDS
![Page 76: UNIT 4 – WEATHER DYNAMICS - CBRH€¢Chapter 14 –Getting started, 14.2, ... •WEATHER DYNAMICS is the study of ... •The transfer of energy in the form of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8ac9d7f8b9acb7c8cecad/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
1. CONVECTION CLOUDS• Convection clouds form when warm air
near heated surfaces such as the Earth
gain energy from these sources.
• As this warm air rises in heat, it expands
and carries water vapour into the
atmosphere.
• The water vapour cools in the upper
atmosphere, forming a convection cloud.
• These clouds are often “puffy”.

2. OROGRAPHIC CLOUDS
• Orographic clouds result from warm, moist
air ascending up a mountain, forming
clouds on the upwind slope as the
temperature decreases
• Thus, the near side of the mountain has
precipitation, and the far side of the
mountain is often dry.

3. FRONTAL CLOUDS• Frontal clouds form when two
air masses of different temperatures
meet.
• Warm air masses generally are less
dense and contain more moisture than
cold air masses, thus rising over, or being
pushed upward and over, cold air.
• The rising air cools and condenses
forming a frontal cloud.
• Where the two air masses meet, this
leading edge is called a FRONT.

or “heap”, referring to a TALL CLOUD
– STRATUS clouds, from “stratum,” or layer,
referring to low-level layered clouds.
• BASED ON PRECIPITATION
– NIMBUS clouds, from a term meaning “rain”,
referring to rain-bearing clouds
• BASED ON ALTITUDE
– LOW LEVEL: NO PREFIX (0 – 2000 m)
– MEDIUM LEVEL: ALTO (2000-5000 m)

FOG• Fog is a cloud that forms near the
ground.
• Although there are many different types of fog,
it basically forms such that water vapour, as it
condenses, attaches
itself to little particles such as
dust specks.
• Some types of conditions that cause fog
include heat rising from the Earth’s surface and
cooling rapidly, warm air passing over snow,
and warm ocean air meeting cold ocean air.
