  2. Atmospheric circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_circulation

    The Hadley cell is a closed circulation loop which begins at the equator. There, moist air is warmed by the Earth's surface, decreases in density and rises. A similar air mass rising on the other side of the equator forces those rising air masses to move poleward. The rising air creates a low pressure zone near the equator.

  3. Atmospheric thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_thermodynamics

    Atmospheric thermodynamics is the study of heat-to-work transformations (and their reverse) that take place in the Earth's atmosphere and manifest as weather or climate. . Atmospheric thermodynamics use the laws of classical thermodynamics, to describe and explain such phenomena as the properties of moist air, the formation of clouds, atmospheric convection, boundary layer meteorology, and ...

  4. Atmospheric convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_convection

    Warm air has a lower density than cool air, so warm air rises within cooler air, [8] [better source needed] similar to hot air balloons. [citation needed] Clouds form as relatively warmer air carrying moisture rises within cooler air. As the moist air rises, it cools causing some of the water vapor in the rising packet of air to condense. [9]

    Warm air has a lower density than cool air, so warm air rises within cooler air, [19] similar to hot air balloons. [20] Clouds form as relatively warmer air carrying moisture rises within cooler air. As the moist air rises, it cools, causing some of the water vapor in the rising packet of air to condense. [21]

    The hot, rising air would then escape through windows near the ceiling to create a natural airflow. Architects also incorporated front porches onto houses to give homeowners some relief from the heat.

  9. Climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

    This is why the temperature change is defined in terms of a 20-year average, which reduces the noise of hot and cold years and decadal climate patterns, and detects the long-term signal. [63]: 5 [64] A wide range of other observations reinforce the evidence of warming.
