Atmospheric and Surface Heating
Lecture Reference Material:
• Explain how Earth’s atmosphere is heated
• Describe the effect that the atmosphere has on absorbing, scattering and
reflecting incoming solar radiation
• List the gases in the atmosphere that are responsible for absorbing longwave
radiation
• Discuss the differences in the heating and cooling of land and water
• Summarize the global pattern of surface temperatures for January and July
• Describe how the temperature of the atmosphere changes with increasing
altitude.
• List the cause of a surface temperature inversion
• Determine the effect that wind speed has on the windchill equivalent temperature.
