Document Summary

Longwave from the earth: blackbody radiation curves, the role of the atmosphere and earth"s energy receipt, the heat balance, energy transfer, net radiation. This is similar to a chimney"s process of sending a hot warm level of air rises until it meets air that is like temperature. This may occur in the cities due to smog layers as the smog layer is unable to rise. Moving air: will cool at the dry adiabatic lapse rate. Dalr: gas laws pv/t=k (k being a constant, rate is 10 degrees per 10000 meters amount is 9. 8 degrees, the air dry and not saturated, this is basically a constant relationship (generally accepted actual. If condensation occurs in this moving air the will be saturated air: the air will now cool at the saturated adiabatic lapse rate salr. It is called mar moist adiabatic rate: rate is variable but less than dalr <10 degrees per a thousand meters, depends on the temperature.
