Temperature: ability for one body to transfer thermal heat to another body
(K/C)
-average speed of molecules
, Specific Heat

- high for water
Heat Transfer in the atmosphere
Conduction: transfer of heat between one molecule to another
Convection: transfer of heat by mass movement
Advection: heat transfer by horizontally moving wind
Radiation: heat transfer that doesn't require medium
Energy of electromagnetic waves
higher frequency, higher energy
Latent heat of vaporization
Amount of heat needed to either evaporate or condense a substance
- for storm clouds this is equivalent to a nuclear bomb
