Heating
The major way the atmosphere is heated is through these processes.
Conduction and absorption of terrestrial radiation
The Dry adiabatic Lapse Rate is this.
3 degrees per 1000 feet.
This term refers to the change in temperature with Altitude
Lapse Rate
Water Vapor and Carbon Dioxide are two of many of these.
Greenhouse Gases
Convection circulates air in this direction
Vertically
When a parcel of air descends, the temperature in the parcel increases because of this process
Compression
A parcel of air will continue to rise and cool as long as the ambient air around it is this.
Cooler
This term refers to heat energy being transferred by contact
Conduction
Principle Properties of the atmosphere are these three things.
Expansion, Compression and Mobility
Which of the following is NOT a lifting process: Convergence, Convection, Clear Air Turbulence
Clear Air Turbulence
The layer between cool air that is trapped below warm air is called this.
Inversion
When a parcel of air rises, the temperature in the parcel decreases because of this process
Expansion
This term refers to things that trap heat in the atmosphere. ie. water vapour
Greenhouse gas
Because most of the moisture is contained here and it has lifting processes to cause condensation, most all weather is found in this layer of the atmosphere
Troposphere

Purpose of the OZONE Layer
Protect from UV-B radiation
The Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate is this
1.5 degrees per 1000 feet
This term refers to the type of radiation the Sun emits.
Short Wave Radiation
This process refers to atmospheric heating and cooling with no heat energy being transferred
Adiabatic heating and cooling
Mach number will decrease as the temperature of the air does this.
Decrease
The increase in temperature between the Dry and Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate occurs because of this.
The water vapour's release of Latent Heat
An observable streak or shaft of precipitation that falls from a cloud but evaporates before reaching the ground, often causing significant downdrafts due to the descending air is called this
Virga
This term refers to the longwave low-energy radiation emitted by the Earth
Terrestrial Radiation
The layer between the Stratosphere and the Mesosphere
Stratopause
Ground Elevation Temp = 15^
Dewpoint = 9^
At what altitude can a pilot expect cloud?
3000' AGL
