Meteorology 1 

This unit will explore atmospheric composition, structure, energy transfer, wind, water, and precipitation.  Understanding the mechanics of the atmosphere and long term observation of the weather are both important for the basic weather prediction that we will do in class.  The videos below are highlights from in class work.

Meteorology 1

Meteorology 1 - Discusses the chemical composition of the Earth's Atmosphere and atmospheric cycles. 

Meteorology 2

Meteorology 2 - Measuring the temperature or energy of the Earth's Atmosphere.

Meteorology 3

Meteorology 3 - Measuring the weight of the air and atmospheric pressure

Meteorology 4

Meteorology 4 - The structure and layers of the Earth's atmosphere. 

Meteorology 5

Meteorology 5 - Sunlight and energy in the Earth's Atmosphere
