EESA09 Wind Midterm
Gaia Hypothesis - ✔️✔️Suns output of energy increased as time went on which caused
the switch from anaerobic or aerobic conditions. Initial solar output produced
greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4). Life has controlled the
atmosphere.
Fossil Fuels - ✔️✔️Such as coal and oil are made from dead plant. Geologic pressure
converts the plant material into fossil fuels. Stored under the earth and rapid release of
this is what causes smog, acid rain, and global warming
Aeolus - ✔️✔️Mythological figures - greek god of wind
Feng Po Po - ✔️✔️Mythological figures - chinese goddess of wind
Haya - Ji - ✔️✔️Mythological figures - Japanese god of wind
Niclch'i - ✔️✔️Mythological figures - Navajo holy wind
Atmospheric constituents controlled by - ✔️✔️geologic, biological, and anthropogenic
Geologic Control - ✔️✔️Early atmosphere consists of CO2 and CH4. Start of anerobic
life. Age of bacteria. 2.3 billion years of CO2 and CH4 abrupt change in atmospheric
conditions.
Biological Control - ✔️✔️Oxygen appearance and start of aerobic life. Thermal
conditions caused by variation of CO2 change. Gaia Hypothesis.
James Lovelock - ✔️✔️Proposed the Gaia Hypothesis in 1970s to explain the
interaction of climate with biology.
Anthropogenic Control - ✔️✔️Photosynthesis occurred. CO2 is released from the air.
Dead plants turn into CO2 form through oxidation process. But some plant material turn
into fossil fuels.
Photosynthesis - ✔️✔️Plants take CO2 in the atmosphere and create plant material
like long carbon chains.
.
, Coal - ✔️✔️First anthropogenic modification of the atmosphere.Industrialization of
China was when coal was used to forge steel. Britian invented steam engine with coal
during the industrial revolution. Spread to the industrialization of the Northeastern US.
Atmosphere Composition - ✔️✔️Matter can appear in solid liquid or gas.
Gas Atmosphere - ✔️✔️Most common phase in the atmosphere. Consists of
permanent and variable gases.
Liquid Atmosphere - ✔️✔️clouds
Solid atmosphere - ✔️✔️particulate matter.
Permanent Gases - ✔️✔️Gases with fixed percentages and those that are variable in
their concentrations. Dynamic and not static equilibrium.
Static Equilibirum - ✔️✔️Produced when there are no creation and destruction
processes.
Variable Gases - ✔️✔️Referred to as greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases - ✔️✔️An Atmospheric constituent that traps outgoing terrestrial
radiation. Re-radiation to the earth causes the temperature to rise and the earth to warm
up.
Strato - ✔️✔️layered clouds, Greater horizonatal extent than vertical extent
Cumulo - ✔️✔️Puffy clouds, similar horizontal and vertical extent
Nimbo - ✔️✔️rain clouds
Cirro - ✔️✔️high level clouds (above 7km)
Alto . - ✔️✔️mid level clouds, between 2 km and 7 km
thermometer - ✔️✔️Invented in late 16th century. Was a liquid-in glass thermometer.
Temperature changes were assesses using expansion of the fluid.
Captain Robert Fitzroy - ✔️✔️Standarized thermometer so that measurements that
geograpical displaced can be compared.
Electric Thermometer - ✔️✔️Electric resistance is a function of temperature and this is
used in the thermometer.
