Course Description

Overview

Explore the fundamental principles of atmospheric physics in this 52-minute lecture from Yale University's "The Atmosphere, the Ocean and Environmental Change" course. Delve into the Perfect Gas Law and its applications in understanding atmospheric phenomena. Learn how temperature, pressure, and density interact to influence air movement, including the rising of warm air and sinking of cool air. Examine buoyancy forces in fluids and their role in atmospheric dynamics. Discover the SI system of units, investigate pressure concepts and the Ideal Gas Law, and study the composition of the atmosphere. Analyze how density and pressure vary with altitude, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the physical processes shaping our atmosphere.
