PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Planetary Climates (Princeton Primers in Climate, 9)

This concise sophisticated introduction to planetary climates explains the global physical and chemical processes that determine climate on any planet or major planetary satellitefrom Mercury to Neptune and even large moons such as Saturns Titan Although the climates of other worlds are extremely diverse the chemical and physical processes that shape their dynamics are the same As this book makes clear the better we can understand how various planetary climates formed and evolved the better we can understand Earths climate history and future.

Reminder: Exam 2 on . What is Climate?. Climate - average weather at a given point & time of year, over a long period (typically 30 years).. Weather changes a lot from day to day, but climate remains relatively constant.. Tropical climates are somewhat variable . In terms of moisture. In terms of temp on a day-night cycle. And somewhat consistent. In terms of annual temp. In terms of incoming solar radiation. Diurnal compared to annual temperature ranges defines the tropics.

Climatologists employ many. different tools to organize the . wealth of information about . earth's climates to bring order. History: . Ancient Greeks used to classify the environment into zones which had different degrees of warmth. This resulted in Aristotle describing the terrain in terms of flora and fauna. . Main characteristics and variables used to define biomes is: . The main shapers of climate are temperature, precipitation, and wind.. These factors form global patterns. Temperatures are warmest in and around the tropics and coolest near the poles.. Precipitation is greatest near the Equator.. Students will construct explanations and design solutions in order to show how atmospheric flow, geographic features, and ocean currents affect the climate of a region through heat transfer, highlighting that sub-systems make up a larger system.. long-term weather patterns. for a particular area.. On Earth we have different climates depending on where you are. . Can you think of any  different climates?. 2. What is climate change?. Climate change. Getting the Audience’s Attention.
