P. 289 Main
Idea
Atmospheric properties, such as temperature, air pressure and humidity describe atmospheric conditions.
![Page 5: Students will be able to identify three properties of the atmosphere and how they interact. Students will be able to explain why atmospheric properties](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56649f305503460f94c4b9af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• P. 289 • Temperature: A measure of movement. The faster the particles of a substance move, the higher is their temperature.
• 3 Scales of Measurement:1. Fahrenheit (˚F) (Most common in
US)2. Celsius (˚C)
• These are based on the boiling and freezing points of water.
3. Kelvin (˚K)• Based on Absolute Zero – where all
movement of particles stops.

P. 290 Air pressure: The weight of air exerted on a surface.• Units: N / m² or millibars (mb.)
100 N / m² = 1 mb. At sea-level atmosphere exerts pressure
of 1000 mb. As you go higher in the atmosphere the
air pressure decreases.
![Page 9: Students will be able to identify three properties of the atmosphere and how they interact. Students will be able to explain why atmospheric properties](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56649f305503460f94c4b9af/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Air pressure decreases with altitude (height.)

P. 290 Density of Air: As you get higher in the atmosphere, density decreases because air molecules are more spread out.
![Page 11: Students will be able to identify three properties of the atmosphere and how they interact. Students will be able to explain why atmospheric properties](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56649f305503460f94c4b9af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
As with air pressure, as you get higher into the atmosphere, the density of air also decreases.
![Page 12: Students will be able to identify three properties of the atmosphere and how they interact. Students will be able to explain why atmospheric properties](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56649f305503460f94c4b9af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
P. 291 Pressure – Temperature – Density Relationship:• Air pressure and Temperature:
For air with the same density, warm air is at a higher pressure than cool air.
• Air pressure and Density: For air with the same temperature high
density air is at higher pressure than low density air.
• Temperature and Density: At the same pressure, warmer air is less
dense than is cooler air.

Temperature Inversion: When warm air is on top of cooler air (occurs in troposphere.)• Causes: Cold clear nights, Earth
does not radiate heat to lower levels of atmosphere.
• Effects: Fog, low lying clouds and smog – smoke and fog (Haze).
• We normally expect air to become colder as we increase in altitude in the troposphere.
![Page 14: Students will be able to identify three properties of the atmosphere and how they interact. Students will be able to explain why atmospheric properties](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56649f305503460f94c4b9af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cold air is normally above warm air.
![Page 15: Students will be able to identify three properties of the atmosphere and how they interact. Students will be able to explain why atmospheric properties](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56649f305503460f94c4b9af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
9.293 Wind: Warm air is less dense than cool air.• Air moves from more dense areas to
less dense areas (WIND.)• Differences in air densities caused
by differences in heating Earth’s of surface.
![Page 16: Students will be able to identify three properties of the atmosphere and how they interact. Students will be able to explain why atmospheric properties](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56649f305503460f94c4b9af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Warm air is less dense than cool air because air molecules are more spread out.
![Page 17: Students will be able to identify three properties of the atmosphere and how they interact. Students will be able to explain why atmospheric properties](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56649f305503460f94c4b9af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
9.293 Wind and Pressure Differences:• In atmosphere air pressure
increases as density increases.• Result:
Air moves from regions of high pressure (COLD - DENSE) to regions of low pressure (WARM – LESS DENSE.)

9.293 Wind Speed and Altitude:• Earth’s surface creates friction with
wind (slows it down.)• Higher in the atmosphere wind
blows faster.

In the Troposphere wind speed increases with altitude.

9.294 Humidity: The amount of water vapor in a given location of the atmosphere.• Expressed as relative humidity and
dew point.• Saturation: when the amount of
water vapor in the air has reached its maximum point. (The air can’t hold anymore.)

9.294 Relative Humidity: Amount of water vapor in air relative to amount of vapor needed for air to reach saturation (expressed as a percent.)• Example: Forecast says relative
humidity = 50% Means the air is holding half of the vapor
it is capable of holding.
