AIR DISTRIBUTION [20 records]

Record 1 2022-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
CONT

The earth's atmosphere is mostly transparent to the incoming solar radiation, and hence the above radiation from the sun is absorbed by the earth surface. The earth's atmosphere in turn absorbs the terrestrial long wave radiation from the earth surface resulting in a situation where the atmosphere is primarily heated from below. This results in a vertical distribution of air temperature, wherein the air temperature decreases with height.

Key term(s)
  • air temperature vertical distribution

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère

Record 2 2022-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
CONT

In addition to the vertical distribution of air temperature, there also exists a horizontal distribution of air temperature, due to the differential heating of the incoming solar radiation between the low and high latitudes. Typically, the air temperature decreases poleward in the troposphere.

Key term(s)
  • air temperature horizontal distribution
