IES Exam 1 Lecture 5

Earth's Energy Budget and Temperature Pt. 2

TermDefinition
Sensible Heat Heat energy that results in a change in temperature
Latent Heat Heat energy that results in a change in phase
Advection Convection but horizontal Wind
Earth's Surface Transfers Latent and Sensible Heat Energy to Atmosphere via... Conduction and Convection
Atmosphere is always circulating... Latent and Sensible Heat
Major Carrier of Latent Heat Water Vapor
Outgoing Shortwave Highest in areas of high albedo
Outgoing Longwave Highest in low latitudes
Energy Gradient is... Driver of atmosphere and ocean circulation
Annual Surface Losses of Latent Heat Highest in warm and wet areas
Latent Heat Requires Water to evaporate
Annual Surface Losses of Sensible Heat Warm and Dry areas
When Sensible Heating is High... Latent heat is low
Latitude and Temperature Patterns Highest temperatures near Equator
Elevation and Temperature Patterns Temperatures highest at the bottom of the atmosphere
Seasonality and Temperature Patterns Temperature tracks insolation
Ocean v. Land and Temperature Patterns Land cools more quickly
Atmospheric and Oceanic Transport and Temperature Patterns Transport of heat
Maritime Temperature Variations Lower seasonality than continental climates
Gulf Stream carries warm water... N. and to E. coast

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
